How culture is controlling this process and how the equivalents are chosen are the main problems to be focused on. The translation of Molavi's Mathnawi by Reynolds, A. Nicholson is the corpus of study. Metaphor as it is defined by modern linguistics is the main concern of the research. Through a thorough review of literature, several frameworks are chosen. Newmark's model (1988b) and Harvey's framework (2000) are the ones to be considered for the study of translation of Metaphor and Culture-based Concepts respectively. Metaphors found in Book 1 of Molavi's work are classified according to the framework and the findings are shown by the bar-graphs. Then Nicholson's translation techniques were observed with care. A Metaphorical Signification and a Metaphor-nature-based model are then introduced by the study. The model is applicable not only to the corpus under study, but to almost every literal and cultural interlanguage translation. Harvey's framework was applied to the Culture-based Concepts and once more the translator's techniques were investigated. The ultimate outcome is a framework proposed by the research, suggesting techniques for translation of different Metaphorical expressions according to the nature of metaphors, the concept which is aroused by the research earlier.
