Divan [1/3]: Book one of three (Attar)

Attar, also known as Farid ud-Din Attar, was a renowned Persian poet and Sufi mystic who lived during the 12th century. Born in Nishapur, in present-day Iran, Attar's life and work are shrouded in mystery, and many details about his personal life remain unknown. He is best known for his masterpiece, "The Conference of the Birds" (Mantiq al-Tayr), an epic Sufi poem that has become a classic of Persian literature. In addition to "The Conference of the Birds," Attar wrote several other significant works, including- Dīwān (دیوان) - Asrār-Nāma (اسرارنامه)- Muṣībat-Nāma (مصیبتنامه)- Ilāhī-Nāma (الهینامه)- Jawāhir-Nāma (جواهرنامه)- Šarḥ al-Qalb[18] (شرحالقلب)The object of this work is to translate all poems of Attar, line by line so that the young generation of Persians unable to read the original Farsi can read it and encourage them to learn Farsi.
