An Overview to Some Versions of Molavi Rubayiat

Abstract

Jalaludin Bahauddin Soltane Olama Valad Ibne Hossein Ibne Ahmad Khatibi known as Molana is the creator of great works in prose and poetry in Persian literature; one of these works is Kullyat of Shams Tabrizi that includes his collection of quatrains that is known as a great extensive work and notable from different aspects. There is no study regarding this senseful and profitable work despite the availability of the other great works of Molana as Masnavi and Ghazalyat e Shams and the opportunity to work in this field is so wide and spacious. Regarding the universal reputation of Molana and also the willingness to eternity of poetry from the poems by low reputation, the present study investigates the authenticity of attribution of first ten quatrains of Molana considering the versions by Forouzanfar and comparing it with three other three versions.
