Divan-i Kabir, Diwan-e Shams-e Tabriz-i or Diwan i Shams is Mawlānā Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī's masterpiece in the Persian language, a collection of poems that contains more than 40,000 verses.

Divan-i Kabir contains Rumi's poems in several different styles of Eastern-Islamic poetry (e.g. odes, eulogies, quatrains, etc). Although most of the poems are in Persian, there are also some Arabic and a small amount of mixed Persian/Greek and Persian/Turkish poems. Diwan-e Shams-e Tabriz-i is named in honour of Rumi's spiritual teacher and friend Shams Tabriz-i.
