Biographical notes

He was born in the town of Kumijān (Iran), not far from the city of Hamadan, apparently in 610 [1213-1214 CE]. In his youth he studied the Qur’ān, Hadith and Islamic theology (kalam). However, he is better known for his literary skills as a Sufi poet that travelled extensively from Pakistan to Anatolia during his lifetime. He began teaching in his native Hamadan (Iran) when he met a group of Qalandar dervishes and abandoned his activities to travel with them all the way to Multān (Pakistan) in the year 1230 [1230 CE]. It was in that city where he allegedly became a disciple of the Sufi master Bahāʼ al-Dīn Zakariyyā, 1170?-1262? ,  بهاء الدين زكريا, who at the time was the leader of the Suhrawardīyah Sufi Order. In fact, ʻIrāqī seems to have married the shaykh’s daughter and had a son with her named Kabīr al-Dīn, d. after 1289, کبیر الدین. Under the auspice of Bahāʼ al-Dīn Zakariyyā, 1170?-1262? , ʻIrāqī stayed in Multān (Pakistan) for 17 years dedicated to writing poetry. After the dead of the Bahāʼ al-Dīn Zakariyyā, 1170?-1262? in 1268 [1268 CE], he seems to have lost the support of the members of the order and left Multān (Pakistan) by sea at the age of 24. First he went to Arabia where he performed hajj and then all the way to Anatolia, where he joined Ṣadr al-Dīn al-Qūnawī, Muḥammad ibn Isḥāq, -1273 or 1274 in Konya (Turkey) and then became close to Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī, Maulana, 1207-1273 and his followers. He was under the protection and patronage of Muʻīn al-Dı̄n Sulaymān, Parwānā, -1277 and Shams al-Dīn Juwaynī, d. 1285 until these two were accused of treason against the Mongols and the later was executed in 1277 [1277 CE]. The fall of his patron seems to have been behind the escape of Iraqi to Sinop and from there to Egypt, where he found refuge under the Mamluk Sultan Baybars al-Manṣūrī, approximately 1245-1325. He gained a high status at the court of the Mamluks and then moved from Egyptto Damascus where he re-joined his son (who has stayed in Multan after Iraqi’s departure). He fell ill shortly after his arrival in Syria and died on 8 Dhu al-Qa'dah 688 [1289 CE] at the age of 78.
