- Biographical notes
- A court poet of Iranian origin born in the Khurasani city of Fāryāb (modern Dawlatā bā d in 550 [1156 CE]. He travelled extensively in Iran to serve different royal patrons such as ʿAḍud al-Dīn Ṭughānshāh (local ruler of Nī shā pū r (Iran)). After spending some years in Iṣ fahā n (Iran), we know that in 585 [1190 CE] he arrived in Mā zandarā n (Iran) to serve at the court of the ruler of the Bāwandid dynasty called Ḥusām al-Dīn Ardashīr b. Ḥasan. Later, he travelled west to be under the patronage of the Eldigüzid Atabegs of North-western Iran that ruled over The Caucasus and Azerbaijan in the Second half of the 13th century [1250-1299 CE] and into the 13th century [1200-1299 CE]. He dedicated qaṣīdas to Muẓaffar al-Dīn Qizil Arslān, r. 1186-91 and Nuṣrat al-Dīn Abū Bakr, 1195-1211 and a poem of his is addressed to Rukn al-Dīn Ṭoghril III, r. 1176-94, last Sultan of the Great Seljuqs. At the end of the 13th century [1250-1299 CE], he left his courtly life and retired in Tabriz for a life dedicated solely to spiritual devotion. He died in that city in Rabīʿ I 598 [1201 CE]. His poems have been compiled by Shams-i Sujāsī, d. 1205-6 into a Dīvān that circulated in Iran and Anatolia from the 13th century onwards [1200-1299 CE] ( (De Blois, Francois. Persian Literature - A Bio-Bibliographical Survey: Poetry of the Pre-Mongol Period. London: Routledge, 2004., pp. 461)). The majority of his poems are qaṣīdas and muqaṭṭaʿāt but also two tarjī‘-bands and a number of ghazals have survived to our days (see (de Bruijn, J.T.P.. "FĀRYĀBĪ, ẒAHĪR-AL-DĪN ABU’L-FAŻL ṬĀHER." Encyclopaedia Iranica. IX, [n.d.]: 382-383.)). Ẓ ahī r Fā ryā bī was contemporary to the famous poets Awḥ ad al-Dī n Anvarī, d. 1189-90 and Afz̤ al al-Dī n Shirvā nī Khā qā nī , approximately 1126-1198 or 1199, writing all three in a similar panegyrics style. The comparison between the poems of Ẓ ahī r Fā ryā bī and his contemporaries became a constant both in pre-modern and modern times (See for example 412-14). One of his poems, dedicated to Rukn al-Dīn Sulaymān Shāh, Sultan of Rūm, r. 1196–1204, رکن الدین سلیمان شاه, appears in the history of Ibn Bībī al-Avā mir al-ʻalā ʼī yah fī al-umū r al-ʻalā ʼī yah (see (Ibn Bībī, Nāṣir ad-Dīn Ḥusayn Ibn Muḥammad. al-Awāmir al-'alā'iyya fi l-umūr al-'alā'iyya ma'rūf bih Tārīkh-i Ibn Bībī. Edited by Zhāla, Muttaḥidīn. Pazhūhishgāh-i 'ulūm-i insānī va muṭāla'āt-i farhangī, 1390 [2011]., pp. 60-3)). According to the Anatolian historian, the sultan paid two thousands dinars and sent ten horses and other presents from Anatolia to the poet residence in Western Iran as a sign of gratitude for the qaṣīda sent by Ẓ ahī r Fā ryā bī .
