Abstract
In this article, attempts are made to examine Moulana's views concerning the relation between text, the author, the audience and other texts against the contemporary hermeneutics theories. Further, after interpreting the modern theories and matching them with Moulana's poetry in his six versified books, the author presents an account of Moulana's innovations regarding the relation between text and audience. Although this article takes a deconstructive approach to analyzing Moulana's theoretical issues, it does not deal with Moulana's ideas concerning hermeneutics deconstructively. The article, as its immediate implication of the findings, implies the possibility of uncovering many hermeneutic theories in Mathnawi.
