In both Persian and Arabic rhetorical traditions, the classification and analysis of tropes and poetic imagery is swarming with nuances and novel findings. Among them, simile and metaphor, on which several monographs have been written, would especially stand out. But such scrutiny into details has at times prevented scholars from considering those questions which come to be more broadly conceived. One such query, rarely found in our rhetorical tradition, pertains to the essential nexus between the modes of expression, on the one hand, and the image and the literary imagery, on the other. The present analytical-descriptive research examines this question, referring to some predominantly Western theories, in an attempt to demonstrate how the use of the term “image” can be misleading with regard to modes of expression and its functions. An image can sometimes assume the capability of evoking mental associations, but it might never take on visual qualities and thus can hardly be imagined. Poetic images are not perceived through sensory perceptions or visualizations, but instead via a series of mental processes aimed at their rational interpretation. With that in mind, we will briefly look into those types of verbal imagery whose main purpose is not the expression of an emotional experience or image-making, but rather producing implicit significations by the use of puns, parallelisms, ambiguities and allusions.

Leili and Majnoon by Jami is one of the most famous works similar to that of Nezami. The present study, which is based on analyzing the content, tries to find the similarities and differences of these two works of art, regarding imagery of the beloved. Based on the findings, it was reveal that:The image of beloved in both works is similar regarding using the virtual images and figurative language such as metaphor. Both poets, in using metaphor, most of all, have used shape, color, and the size which are based on the vision; whereas, Jami has used metaphors which are based on smell. The two poets, in using the type of image, have clear differences. Nezami is mostly fond of presenting “Figurative image” of the beloved while Jami, in addition to imitating these pictures, uses more and different “Verbal images” about beloved. Through highlighting figurative image and expanding its scope by the help of different knowledge such as science, medicine and folk belief, Nezami adds to the romantic aspect of his work; however, thanks to different verbal images, Jami images adds to realistic aspect of his work; therefore, his story, in terms of believability, is easier and more realistic.
