Ambiguity plays a vital role in the processes of language and literature. The language of Sufi discourse is neither simple nor easy; rather, it is intentional, carrying within it hidden and implicit meanings. It is also an artistic technique for presenting discourse in an aesthetically pleasing and profound way, where ambiguity is used extensively and in diverse ways to broaden the horizons of thought and feeling. The poet employs numerous words, images, and meanings to enhance the beauty of his poem, prompting the reader to contemplate and search for the true meaning.Therefore, this study aims to explore linguistic structures that carry more than one meaning. Any linguistic structure that allows for multiple interpretations is considered ambiguous. Ambiguity manifests in various forms within language, such as syntactic, pragmatic, and linguistic/lexical ambiguity, which is formed through words with multiple meanings, homonymy, and inclusion, etc., and plays a prominent role in clearly expanding the scope of meaning and intention.The main objective of this research is to identify the words and phrases that embody different types of ambiguity in the poems of Sheikh Shams al-Din Qutb al-Akhlati. This study is based on Peter Newmark's (1988)theory, which classifies ambiguity into seven types: linguistic, verbal, pragmatic, cultural, monolingual, referential, and metaphorical.
