Many translation theoreticians strongly support the role of collocations in translation and therefore have focused on this linguistic phenomenon in part of their studies. Nevertheless, in the realms of the Quran, this issue has been neglected and encounters a significant number of challenges. The present study, on the basis of Newmark, Beeker, and Larson’s point-of-view on the one hand, and the translations of the Holy Quran on the other hand, has presented a new categorization of translation obstacles in Quranic collocations, which is free from its syntactic classifications; and by extracting evidence from ten contemporary translations of Quran this study suggests solutions to this problem. The statistical sample of this research includes one hundred Quranic collocations chosen on account of their frequency in Quran, some of which are analyzed and discussed in the present article. The five challenges in the translation of Quranic collocations encountered by the translators include: misunderstanding of collocations, the difference between correctness and naturalness in Persian equivalents, different order of collocation placement between the source and the target languages, observing equivalence unity, assimilation and accordance between equivalents, and unified translation of various collocations in the Holy Quran. With regard to these challenges and the recommended solutions by the researcher, it is possible to provide a more eloquent and comprehensible translation of the Holy Quran.

Deviation is a discussion in formalist criticism and one of the contemporary literary theories which based on the principles of rhetoric. In new linguistic approaches, the contemporary theorists have introduced deviation as a poetry creating tooland a different type is considered for that. In the meantime, semantic deviation receives the most feedback in the realm of poetry. PoetoffersHisartisticmessageto the audienceby applying or using semantic deviation and prolonging the process of perception because in semantic deviation, signifiers game leads to escape and flow of meaning thatcauses a significant delay in the mind of audience and creates multiple perceptions. A brief look at Sayyab poemsreveals his tendency to use encryption and myth for repaying poetic concepts. Using such an approach, aesthetic elements added to his word and gave a virtual color to vocabulary functions. Expressive aspects of rhetorical knowledge in Sayyab poetry are samples of semantic deviation in ode of “Rahala-Al-nahar” which the authors examines these elements in substitutionary and collocation axis, besides their function ina reflection ofhispoeticmessage. Then the authors show that the frequency of Sayyab Use fromrhetoricalelementsand prolongingtheperception ofthe audience has a tremendous effect on accompanying the audience with his poetic meaning.
