Through investigating Hāfez's poems and highlighting the symbol of time as a fundamental metaphor and a set of its connotations and denotations which come to existence through the patterns of repetition, symmetry, parallelism and reciprocity and are extended through the processes of collocation and substitution, one can find two types of time: (1) the linear, chronological and external time; (2) the cyclic and internal time. The Hāfez's poems, through patterning a special tradition whose features have been demonstrated in the present article, transform the instant, unstable and mortal time to an everlasting and sustainable one. The poet, through paraphrasing and interpreting the present events, shapes their traditions and chronically, on the basis of the everlasting models and earlier examples as well and saves the ordinary and every day phenomena from the restrictions of concreteness and temporality. In this scope, the present and ephemeral occurrences are not only stop points but the points of departure and going ahead.
