Abstract: Undoubtedly, Abu Atta Kamal al-Din Mahmud ibn Ali ibn Mahmud, known as Khajoo Kermani, is one of the greatest poets and mystics of Persian literature; Who has experimented with mastery and considerable ability in all forms and types of poetry. However, in the field of Iranian literature, he has not been mentioned as he should have been and his right has not been asserted - which was certainly due to the experience of one time; On the other hand, the master of speech, Sheikh Ajal, had Saadi behind him and Khaja Rendan, the lord of romantic and mystical lyric, Hafez was in front of him - therefore Khajoo is in their shadow and his poems are as they deserve; He could not show himself next to their eternal poems. However, Khajoo, as an art poet among Persian-speaking poets with titles such as: "King of grace", "King of theology", "Creative of meanings", has earned the special title of "Poet Nakhlband". However, one can search for the propositions of Khajoo Nakhlbandi in his high mystical thought and poetic art; But the components of form and illustration and his skill of using verbal and spiritual arrays, have a very thoughtful place. Therefore, based on his research goals and questions, this research intends to examine the appearance of Khajoo "Nakhlabandi" in the mirror of imaginary forms and literary arrays, in accordance with the illustrated versions of his poems.
