The secret of the emergence of the science of rhetoric with the science of meanings and expression is this, by which eloquent speech is distinguished from vulgar and common speech. The imagery and expressive methods in Nizami's works, especially in his works of Bazmi, are so catchy and eloquent that they surprise the reader and introduce him to the unknown world of beauty that can fit in the mind of a creative poet. leave a memory in poetry for future generations.
