Literal or word by word translation of literary works especially translation of those literary men that state philosophic, religious thoughts in their works, has always created some difficulties and challenges. Some of these challenges that we can point out are some elements that are in the surface structure, finding synonyms, and all kinds of literal translation from those texts. Jibran Khalil Jibran’s "Albadae'e wa altaraef" focuses on various types of life, views, and social events and with his philosophical opinions, he speaks about his ideas. The researcher, using a qualitative method, tries to analyze Simin Panahi Fard’s translation of this book entitled "New and Wonder Thought" at the level of lexical and sentence equivalency, from the form and meaning points of view. The researcher has tried to give some solutions in order to generally improve the qualitative level of the translation and specially translation of this work. The result of the research shows that the translator has tried to have a loyal literal translation or word by words toward the structure of the origin text, which has caused the structure of many Arabic sentences to move to Persian language; as a result, heterogeneity in the structure of these sentences and improper constructions make ambiguities in the text. Sometimes this translated book has faced some challenges to find suitable equivalents for the technical vocabulary and expressions.

One of the important books written about contemporary area of Arabic poetry is “Semantic & Artistic Aspects of Contemporary Arabic Poetry” by Azlodin Esmaeili, the famous critic of Arabic literature. This book was published in 1391 and translated by Seyyed Hossein Seyyedi, and was titled artistic and semantic aspects of contemporary Arabic poem of Taraneh Mashhad publications. One of the most important relationship bridges among languages, cultures, and literature of various countries is the translation. This study, investigating the relationship between substation and companionship that a famous linguist Saussurehas talked about, investigated the present translation. The present study has engaged in problems from the view of descriptive-interpretive method, by emphasizing the product-oriented (descriptive) translation studies. He has analyzed them, has presented the suggested translation. In general, it can be said that in spite of the efforts and a lot of translating problems in transferring contents from the source language into the target language, the translation of the mentioned book has confronted many difficulties that can be resulted from the loss of exact understanding or enough accuracy between the source language and the target language, and idioms have beneficial usages in the area of words and idioms in these languages.
