Through its evolution, the Islamic mysticism was led in pantheism which was introduced by Mohi al-Din Ibn `Arabī. Although pantheist ideas can be traced among the old mystics but Ibn `Arabī has been the founder and disciplinarian of such ideas. Along with the spread of Islam and Persian language and literature in India, Islamic mysticism, and subsequently, pantheistic mysticism spread in that country and the atmosphere of Indian Persian poetry was dominated by it. One of the Indian Persian language poets who noticed these ideas profoundly was 'Abd al-Qāder Bidel Dehlavi. In his quatrains and sonnets, he speaks openly of issues and components of pantheistic mysticism, and analyzes somethings such as God, Human, World and the existing relation between them on the basis of this thought school. Fantasy is one of the issues Bidel has dealt with in his poems. This article describes the manifestation of the issue in Bidel’s poetry and shows how Bidel explained it using a poetic language and different allegories.
