Delving into religious themes, the Shia literature has gained a unique status as viewed by lovers of immaculate Ahl al-Bayt family (AS), thus it has turned into a lively mainstream where religious teachings were passed through an effective moral/educational approach and artistic language onto the next generations , those who need the knowledge wellspring and ethics from the Immaculate and Infallible Masumin (AS), therefore it ultimately leads the Shia beliefs of ancestors toward sublime ideals pursued by these leaders to human perfection. From this perspective,it is necessary to consider the distant centuries when the blatant cry from a wretched sounds resembled to the dimmest human voice as the grapes of hope in a bitter silence flushed with infertility and the wilting spot overlaying their lips, it was while Ahmad Azizi set his heart on an Imam whose holy shrine provided a resort for those shelterless people who have released the "deer" of their aching heart before the thornless effects of his perception and they have fixed eyes beyond the cloud of invocation toward a rainfall that could revive their drought-stricken smile. This essay intends to examine, "Mother of the Deers" a masnavi poem composed by Ahmad Azizi in a descriptive-analytical method, in order to answer the question how the Imam Reza's complexion reflected in the ideology of this highly committed poet. The findings show that the symbolic masnavi portrays the call of perplexity in those shelterless peoplewho have, in their desperate loneliness, bound their plea to Imam Reza's sacred burial chamber where they could get away with the heartfelt pains from the oppressive dictators of day.
