Conceptual metaphor is one of the new terms in cognitive linguistics used for textual analysis. This theory was first established by Lakoff and Johnson in 1980, bringing about significant developments in metaphor comprehension. According to this theory, contrary to literary tradition, metaphor is not merely used for rhetorical embellishment, but rather constitutes a perceptual process that involves understanding one conceptual domain through another. One of these conceptual domains is the existential nature of "human being," which represents a fundamental topic in mystical texts, particularly in Bidel Dehlavi's poetry. This study aims to analyze the existential dimensions of humanity in this mystical poet's work through a descriptive-analytical approach, addressing the fundamental question of which conceptual domains Bidel employed to objectify the complex concept of human existence. The findings indicate that Bidel, to elucidate various dimensions of humanity as target conceptual domains, utilized concrete source domains such as shadow, spark, bubble, dew, footprint, blister, eyebrow, flower, petal, fragrance, peacock, sacrificial bird, ship, goblet, precious stone, seal-ring, lament, light, wave, handful of dust, handful of blood, wild rue, candle, arrow, particle, straw, burnt page, ocean, almond, sapling, mirror, and droplet.
