One of the salient features of mystical poems is the expression of lofty mystical thoughts by using mystical reciprocal elements. These reciprocalities are mainly derived from the experiences and inner revelations of mystical poets who have expressed them by dying from the material world and receiving the truth. Asiri Lahiji is one of the mystic poets of the ninth century AH, whose reciprocal elements are well reflected in his poems; This means that he has defined his mystical experiences in the form of paradoxical themes for the audience, and this important thing is rooted in his intellectual contemplation and expresses his practical mysticism. Among his poems, his lyric poems contain long mystical themes in which the poet describes them in a paradoxical way. The main purpose of this descriptive-analytical research is to investigate mystical contrasts in Lahiji captive lyric poems. The results of the research show that the difference between reason and love, pain and treatment, connection and sorrow, unity and plurality, essence and attributes, names and attributes, manifestations of romantic and ascetic Sufism, annihilation and survival, existence and non-existence are the most frequent reciprocal themes in these lyric poems. They are poets. In all cases, each of the reciprocal elements complements the opposite element; In other words, these reciprocal themes seem to contradict each other, but inwardly they are one and pursue the same goal.
