One of the unique aspects of Shi'a mysticism compared to other forms of mysticism is the emergence of Shi'a ritual literature in the form of the tradition of elegy (marthiyah) and panegyric (madīḥah) for the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them). Shi'a panegyrics and elegies reflect the mystical encounter of society with events that affect the religious aspects of the people. The present study, with a text analysis approach, attempts to examine the evolution of mystical meanings in elegies and panegyrics in the four decades before and the four decades after the revolution in Iran. This research investigates the issue of the infallibles' wilayah (spiritual authority) and its comparison with the wilayah of jurisprudents (fuqahā), the issue of war and consequently migration and estrangement (ghurbat) and its mystical connotations in the mystical literature of the forty years before and after the revolution. The claim of this research is that by examining the lexical level or depth borrowed by ritual poets in each period for the praise and lamentation of the infallibles, the hidden epistemological attitude within the inner layers of society can be examined in the forty years before and after the revolution, and it can be determined in which cases mystical concepts have had a growing trend and in which cases they have had a declining evolution.
