Naziri A Poet of the Indian style and Neyshabour

     The beautiful historicallandofIndiahas always been the cradle and the home of the Persian poetry for centuries and ages. Naziri Neyshabouri is one of the hundreds of the Iranian poets and the first one of them who traveled to Abdolrahim khan (titled khan-e-khanan)’s court in the land of “the speakers of the sweet Persian language”, owing to his generosity and his love for improving the literature. Naziri moved toIndiain 992 H.Q. and stayed there for about 31 years until 1021 H.Q. when he passed away in Gojarat. He praised the great men and benefactors of that poet-nourishing land and lived there as a committed Moslem and a twelve-Imami Shiite and an honest lover of the Almighty and a devotee of the religion.
       However, his nostalgia for his homeland and his birthplace, the city ofNeyshabour, as well as for khorasan is reflected in his poems.
      Naziri’s descriptions of the ancient historical city of Neyshabour, as well as the great Khorasan are fascinating; he sometimes calls Neyshabour the “savory mine”, and sometimes “Attar’s mud”, as it is the burial place of Attar Neyshabouri, once talks of the Neyshabouri “turquoise-likes”, and somewhere else remembers “the house of mother and the grave of father” in Neyshabour and wishes to return and to “stay” there. The valuable information that Naziri sets forth from his birthplace, Neyshabour, and from Khorasan is magnificent and considerable.
       In the present article, by describing couplets of Naziri’s poems, we investigate parts of these concerns. Perhaps, it can be a guide for the researchers in the studies whose aim is to know Naziri better.
