Abstarct: Abstract Iran has a rich history in architecture and poetry. Traditional Iranian architecture is famous in the world with its unique designs and elements. On the other hand, Persian poetry is also world-famous, and poets such as Rumi, Hafez, Saadi, etc. are known worldwide. With the passage of time, traditional Iranian architecture as well as Persian poetry are being forgotten and are less discussed. Among Iranian poets, Rumi, known as Rumi in the West, has a special importance for the art and literature of this land. The purpose of this research is to create a bridge between Rumi's poems and architecture. Rumi has used architectural elements and artificial places to convey his purpose in his poems. He is also a poet capable of using allegory. In the present study, Rumi's poems are divided into five categories: allegorical story, architectural elements, elements related to architecture, architectural applications, and architectural concepts and imagery, and in each category, Rumi's poems are analyzed, and poems in which allegory is evident are also mentioned. According to the researcher's study, Rumi has used architecture and architectural spaces in his poems. In some of his stories, a specific building or structure plays a fundamental role, in some poems, architectural elements are mentioned as specific allegories, and in some, a space is described. According to this research, Rumi paid great attention to architecture and the spaces created by it, and was fully aware of the use of elements such as porches, porches, arches, etc., and used them to convey the purpose and mystical atmosphere of his poems. He also described spaces that helped create a spiritual state in him and can be used in design. This research is effective in using architecture and poetry and their life because we see traditional Iranian architectural elements used at that time, which themselves are a reminder for their reuse. On the other hand, paying attention to Persian poetry from an architectural perspective causes architects to study literary works from a different angle this time. Also, examining the different capabilities of this subject and creating a style arising from it first requires examining poems from an architectural perspective, which has been achieved in this dissertation..
