Sufi and mystic poets employ linguistic evidence, especially expressions regarding animals, to represent mystic concepts. In this study, to explore and clarify the meanings Mulana intended to convey as the field of destination, we will examine the linguistic expression “the Lion” as the field of origination in ghazals of Divan Kabir by using the conceptual theories of metaphor introduced by George Lakoff and Mark Johnsen. Studies have shown that Mulana, by utilizing linguistic economy and provoking multiple mental images with the use of a single expression (lion), has successfully exhibited a vital and variegated spectrum of his mystic thoughts.  According to the frequency explored in this article, the expression ‘lion’ in the mystic conceptual system of Mulana enjoys a positive meaning; heart and love are more significant in comparison to reason; the crucial concept of “complete man” against human ego and “beloved” are used to represent the absolute superiority of God through visual representation of “the lion”. All in all, employing the expression of the lion to point to sublime meanings and concepts central to mysticism is an indication of Mulana’s idealistic spirit, his sanguinity and sublimated nature. In this piece of research, which is carried out through a descriptive-analytical method, after an introductory note on conceptual metaphor, origination of animal metaphors, and Mulana’s metaphoric language, the writers provide different verses as an example of different kinds of destination fields. Determining the conceptual framework, field of origination or emotive field, application of various meanings’ general and local inscription in each category would be the next step. Finally, the frequency of the fields of destination and their conceptual generalizations will be presented in a table and the data will be explicated.

Affection is one of the methods of improving the quality of life and establishing effective human communication through which a person can understand a world full of meaning and full of emotions. One of the basic and fundamental emotions is sadness, which can sometimes cause serious problems due to the severity of its effects on a person's behavior and psyche. Sadness is important not only in the field of psychology but also in the field of linguistics. To the extent that Lakoff and Johnson have used it as the target area in their theory of conceptual metaphor Nezami poetry is also a poem that reflects human emotions and feelings. Emotions expressed in complex and ambiguous metaphorical language. Therefore, deciphering and understanding it can have a huge impact on the daily thinking and communication of the audience; because, according to Lakoff and Johnson, metaphors form an important part of our verbal communication. For this purpose, in the present research, with the descriptive-analytical methods based on the cognitive approach, the method of metaphorical conceptualization of grief emotion in the collection of poems of Panj ganj Nezami has been investigated. The purpose is that Nezami Ganjovi; with what skill has he depicted the abstract concept of grief? The findings of the research showed that the emotion of grief has given a special effect to military poems. In such a way that its frequency is high in some of his poems such as Khosrow and Shirin and Laily and Majnoun. To conceptualize sorrows whose source is mostly related to the loss of something valuable such as love and the death of a loved one, Nizami has used the field of various origins such as humans, plants, animals, and natural disasters.
