Since mysticism incorporates the intuitive experiences and perceptions of some mystics and utilizes a variety of tools and techniques to make them tangible and intangible, and on the other hand, is meaningful, it mainly involves multiple shades of meaning and is often accompanied by complex interpretations. Mystic's attempt to make optimal use of a surface structure for expressing a few deep structures, is another reason for interpretability and, above all, the semantic ambiguity of mystical texts. mystics believed that the common language was not capable of conveying mystical experiences, this caused multi-meaning and more and more ambiguity in mystical texts.Shams' face has always been shrouded in mystery between the greats of Persian and mysticism ؛and one of the reasons for this may be his obscure language in the papers.Shams' articles are full of linguistic ambiguity and deviation that delay understanding of meaning and sometimes lead to misunderstanding. In this study we will address to these factors - the key to entering the Shams’ world and consequently the path to the Rumi’s world and we will unravel the ambiguity and resolve the levels of meaning in some of propositions by Shams in six top concepts including mysticism and we will demonstrate that the ambiguity of Shams 'articles is not only attributed to the mystical language, but also to Shams' particular mystical experiences and his attitude to language.Keywords: Shams articles, ambiguity, mysticism, meaning
