"Alavi poetry" is one of the main branches of religious poetry that, disregarding scarce research on its content and context, has not been thoroughly studied yet. The religious mission and function of these poems depend on their profound influence on the audience. Given the vital significance of music in the structure of a poem and its influence, the present study is going to investigate the function of the musical elements in 4 external, lateral, inner, and spiritual levels using the descriptive-analytical method. To find out how the musical elements work in Alawi Poetry and how the Alawi poets use musical elements in their poems, three sets of Alawi poems containing 158 poems have been analyzed. The findings of the study suggest that the musical elements were more prominent, creative, and powerful in the two outer and lateral levels. However, Inner and spiritual levels are marginalized in these poems.
