Life is one of those concepts that have not been absent from world poetry in any era. When poets talk about life, they reflect the concerns, desires and infrastructure of the human mind; For this reason, their poetry is a mirror of the whole view of human life and passions. Nima is one of those poets who passes life through the filter of his mind and what happens in his poetry is a mixture of external life, emotion, imagination, thought and collective psyche that leads to the discovery of the dimensions of life. Nima's reading, according to the reception theory, has the advantage of revealing the various and hidden aspects of his poetry. In Nima's poem, "Fear", "Hope", "Despair", "Effort", "Death" and "Movement" together form the concept of life and these concepts along with the elements of nature that the poet borrows from his environment, show his attitude towards the world (Lebenswelt). The reception theory recognizes the reading of the reader in the text and this helps Nima's poetry to bring its breadth to the fore with its inclusive elements; Because in his poetry, we see both social and cultural conditions and the commonalities with which humans are connected throughout their lives. In this article, first, we briefly introduce the reception theory, and then we examine Nima's view of life in three areas: moral view, Khayyami's view, and cryptological view.
