Rūdakī

Rūdakī

▪ Persian poet
byname of  Abū ʿAbdollāh Jaʿfar ibn Moḥammad 
born c. 859, Rudak, Khorāsān
died 940/941, Rudak?

      the first poet of note to compose poems in the “New Persian,” written in Arabic alphabet, widely regarded as the father of Persian poetry.

      A talented singer and instrumentalist, Rūdakī served as a court poet to the Sāmānid ruler Naṣr II (914–943) in Bukhara until he fell out of favour in 937. He ended his life in wretched poverty. Approximately 100,000 couplets are attributed to Rūdakī, but of that enormous output, fewer than 1,000 have survived, and these are scattered among many anthologies and biographical works. His poems are written in a simple style, characterized by optimism and charm and, toward the end of his life, by a touching melancholy. In addition to parts of his divan (collection of poems), one of his most important contributions to literature is his translation from Arabic to New Persian of Kalīlah wa Dimnah, a collection of fables of Indian origin. Later retellings of these fables owe much to this lost translation of Rūdakī, which further ensured his fame in Perso-Islamic literature.
