The current paper which is the outcome of the sociological study on Rumiʹs Masnavi (Couplet), deals with one aspect of the study, that is political sociology, and demonstrates a lot of mentalities related to government and governor, along with other subjects indicated in this work of art, despite evading the truth.
Rumi has indicated a number of the political social subject matters of its time, but in terms of more general matters, he has told a lot and has revealed his own special viewpoints accordingly. Since he provides his ideas through dual interactions, he points to two kinds of governors who interact from policy making and supremacy point of view. Thus, at the heart of his theory there are two rulers, the first one Pharaoh as a symbol of dictatorship and the second one Solomon as a symbol of justice.
There are a few examples presented in various parts of the paper over the autocracy and cruelty of kings as well as the cruelty of their agents on their people. Then, some examples are given on the treason of courtiers against one another, showing that though there is treachery with different motifs, there will be a disaster if king is impressed by word of others; otherwise, treachery is not effective. In addition, there is a brief discussion on the goodness and badness of prime ministers who are the most powerful people after the king, and in the end, some signs of Utopian king has been referred to in Masnavi.
