Nezamior Nizami orig. Ilyas Yusuf Nizami Ganjawi(born c. 1141, Ganja, Seljuq empire—died 1209, Ganja) Greatest romantic epic poet in Persian literature. Little is known of his life, except that he spent it in what is now Azerbaijan. Only a handful of his qasidahs (odes) and ghazels have survived; his reputation rests on his great Khamseh (“The Quintuplet”), a group of five poems totaling 30,000 couplets, in which he brought a colloquial and realistic style to the epic. The fourth poem, The Seven Beauties, is considered his masterpiece. How to thank TFD for its existence?
