Depending on the point of view of the author or poet, the form or content can overcome the other and change the meanings of the text. Attar Mokhtarnameh is one of the texts that has many contents despite the common form and format of the quatrain. Understanding these various contents requires classification and stylistic view, in order to achieve the content and semantic style of these quatrains by analyzing them. Accordingly, in this article, an attempt has been made to analyze the contents of this work in the quatrains with a stylistic approach and considering the content of the quatrains of the mandate. In this research, the themes of Attar"s quatrains have been extracted and analyzed.

METHODOLOGY: The research method in this study is to analyze information based on qualitative research with a stylistic, descriptive and analytical approach. The purpose of examining the themes is to deal with meaningful and repetitive themes of a concept that organizes both the content of the literary text and the form and aesthetics of the work.

FINDINGS: Attar"s quatrains can be superior to other quatrains"s poems in various ways, including pure moral and mystical concepts that will never lose their novelty.

CONCLUSION: Mystical, didactic, philosophical, Khayyami and romantic themes are the most important themes of this work which include themes such as monotheism, astonishment, self-cultivation, death and discredit of the world, Qalandariat and divine love.
