Abstract

Background and Objectives: Applying of ambiguous language, which is a poet's technique for interrupting the process of receiving meaning, origin from the artist's creative art and the cause of richness of the literary text, fertility of meaning, the dynamism of the reader mind, and ultimately the immortalization of the literary work. One type of ambiguity in artistic language is، ambiguity in the rhetorical apparatus. Between the expressive arts, simile as the basis of other rhetorical elements, the mirror of any change in literary style. Simile is the most widely used device in the Indian style, which is an ambiguous style. Kalim Kashani, one of the famous poets of the Indian style, demonstrated his skill in composing epic-historical by composing the Pādshāhnāma Masnawi about Shah Jahan's conquests Methods: This research aims to evaluate the quality of artistic ambiguity in the structure of the similes of this masnawi, and has used the library method to collect data and the descriptive-analytical method to analyze the data. Indings & Conclusion: The result of the investigation shows that despite the necessity of the narration of the text in describing historical events, the system of the Pādshāhnāma is not devoid of artistic ambiguity which is a characteristic of Indian style poetry And its reflection can be seen in the structure of similes, similar to, and pseudo face; But the density of artistic images in the place of analogy is the manifestation of Kalim's special art in the reflection of artistic ambiguity. Conclusion: Artistic ambiguity in the similes of Padshah-Nama, particularly in the density of imagery, reflects Kalim Kashani’s creativity in generating multilayered meanings and enriching poetic language.
