From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Abul Hasan Abu Ishaq Kisa'i Marvazi was a 10th century poet of Persia.
Born in 953 CE and originating from Merv, he paid flattery first and foremost to the courts of the Samanids, but also to the Abbasids and Ghaznavids, particularly Mahmud of Ghazni.
He is said to have later converted to Shia Islam.

Contemporary Persian and Classical Persian are the same language, but writers since 1900 are classified as contemporary. The above lists include poets mostly of Iranic background but also some of Indic, Turkic and Slavic backgrounds. At one time, Persian was a common cultural language of much of the non-Arabic Islamic world. |
