A comparative study of common allegories in Molavi's Masnavi and Waladname. Waladname is a work in Masnavi form and an emulation of Molavi's Masnavi. This work which is in verse contains ethico-mystical intricacies and beautiful allegories and reflects a thorough image of physical and spiritual life of Molavi, his pupils and colleagues. Comparing these two works shows that Solatan Walad (623-712) is probably the first poet who could model his father's skill in composing mystical poems with allegories. The results show that a full understanding of Waladname especially its allegories depends heavily on understanding Masnavi and that decoding enigmatic phrases in the son's poems needs a full account of the father's work. This article is an attempt to introduce the influence and common aspects in creating allegories.

Research findings show that the allegories of Masnavi have found extensive manifestation in Valadnameh; furthermore, the method of both authors in the field of explicit allegorical literature is consistent with the truth of life and based on the Quran, hadiths, and the sayings of predecessors.
One of the factors behind the attractiveness of Maulavi's speech is the frequent and appropriate use of similes and allegories, to the extent that it can be boldly said that he has utilized parable and allegory as a tool to express the content of his poetry and, in other words, to express truths in a sensory and tangible way; and at the same time, he has validated his speech by citing the Holy Quran, prophetic hadiths, and the sayings of the greats, bringing his words in the Masnavi Sharif to such a degree of authority and value that his followers have also followed in his footsteps, creating exquisite works in the style and context of the Masnavi.
(Sultan Walad, 1376: 4029) Maulana believes that those who can step onto the path of the saints are those who are not attached to worldly affairs and are entirely intoxicated by Truth: The sleeper must be awake before us, so that through wakefulness, he may see the dreams (Maulavi, 1368, 3: 1114) The root of this allegory is in Surah Al-Kahf, verse 18 of the Holy Quran.
