The field of speech and the meaning exist in Hafiz's sonnets need “reading” of his audiences. In order to make this narrative system being understood by the audience, the poet has come up with various techniques such as combination of description, incident and dialogue to start the sonnets, bringing propositions with time and place, dialogue and dialogue-ending, and the hadith of the soul, in harmony with the synthesis of the whole sonnet. The narrative system of his sonnets has been, in present research, explained according to the theme, situation, audience and poet’s objectives. His narrative sonnets have been divided into two groups: sonnets with complex and obscure narrative designs and sonnets with obvious narrative designs. The narrative structure of the second group including 23 sonnets has been studied in terms of type, quantity, composition of sequences, statements and codes to show the solidarity of narrative sonnets of Hafiz. The most usage of codes relates to conversation codes (94 cases/such as debate, dialogue, and Hadith of self) that include verisimilitude, advice, and psychological codes, and it shows that narration is among the goals of Hafiz's lyricism. Active, informational and psychological codes were reported 37, 29 and 7, respectively.

In other words, the intuitional pantheism is experienced and proven in this type of monotheistic mysticism. This type of intuitional and practical mysticism is clearly manifested in the sonnets of Attar of Nishapur's divan. It will be possible to achieve a clear vision of Attar's attitude toward monotheism through analysis those parts of his verses portray this type of worldview. Attar suggests his own special "pantheism" as a combined intuitional insight in the mirror of his sonnets which are all based on his spiritual experiences and are results of higher mystical positions achievement.

Some topics in Mathnawi such as the “Struggling against the lower soul”, "interpreting soul as idol and 'Ijl (calf)", "seduction of self", and some parts of Sufi customs such as "long fasting" and "eating halal foods", and "avoidance of persecution and altruism" are what existed in these interpretations and are reflected in Mathnawi. Some other topics in Mathnavi such as "divine indulgence", "divine wisdom", and “keeping reliance on God” and "leaving the trick" are all rooted in Qur'anic mystical interpretations. Mowlavi has deliberately used this type of hermeneutics, so he has called Mathnavi as "the Decoder of Qur'an".
