Since the language of mysticism is mysterious and Cryptic, the mystical speech in specific spiritual cases is, manifested as Shitahit in expressing its observations and findings. Therefore, paradoxes have a close relationship with the divine mysteries in a way that it can reflect private thoughts of a Sufi mystic in higher mystical stags. In this arena, Attar Neyshaboori is a mystical poet whose school has devoted a special section of his Ghazals to these Shitahit in such a way that we can find the foundation of his mystical thoughts in the analysis of his Ghazals Shitahit. This article aims at analyzing the Shitahit in Attar Neyshaboori’s Divan of Ghazals. It also tries to analyze the main verses of Attar's Divan in which the concept of “Shitahit” is hidden by inductive-analytic method. So, in this way, the analytical philosophy of Attar’s views on Shitahit based on its construing motif and the importance of his views in this regard can be explained and clarified to see to what extent and in what way the “Shitahit” have infiltrated into Attar Neyshaboori’s Divan of Ghazals and odes.

Two poetic kinds can be pointed out in Attar Nishapuri’s, sixth and seventh century poet, divan of sonnets: individual and social. Among his mystic poetry, a kind of Ghalanderies can be identified, which shows his skill in the above mentioned kinds of poetry. In other words, Attar paid attention to both forms; not only has he viewed them from an individual perspective, but also, he has considered them socially, as a critic. Based on library research and inductive method, this study aims to examine Attar’s Ghalanderi poetry from an analytical, individual and social point of view. Thus we present a reflection of personal mystic experience on the one hand and a social image of Attar’s times, in a form of mystic sonnet (Ghalanderies), on the other hand. Finally, we show how this kind of sonnet, in relation to Mystic Shathiat, leads to the rise of both conscious or intentional and unconscious Shath(critical remarks reflect political and religious community in the form of negating of hypocrisy, prejudice and dogma) and unconscious Shath (paradoxical remarks are translation of individual experience because o f going down in perdition worlds) that part of Ghalandaries which images great spiritual evolution during a supernatural experience in mysteries of Ghalandar and Moghan portray an individual and unconscious aspect of shath and other types of Ghalandaries expresses Attars critical opinions to his social pathology that show his social aspect and conscious or intentional Shath.
