In Section 46 of Subhat al-Abrar (part of Haft Awrang), Jami presents a dualistic classification of poetry based on its spiritual origin and ethical impact on the listener:

1. Celestial/Spiritual Poetry: Originating from the divine realm (golshan-e malakut), this kind of poetry serves as 'the song of the bird of intellect' (navay-e morgh-e kherd). It is characterized by the harmonious union of refined meaning and robust form (lafz o ma'ni). Such poetry provides spiritual comfort (comfort of the soul) and elevates the listener's soul, bringing eternal renown to the poet.
2. Carnal/Sensual Poetry: Originating from the dark furnace of worldly passions and desires (golkhan-e hava o havas), this poetry is defined by crude meanings (ma'ni-ye kasif) and vulgar words (lafz-e rakik). It provides no spiritual benefit; rather, its focus on flattery and trivialities (labe o lagh) causes mental fatigue and distress (decline of the heart) to its audience.
