The Book of Poems (Diwan)

A Diwan is a collection of poetry, often organized thematically or by poet, serving as a literary anthology. Historically significant in Arabic, Persian, and other literatures, it showcases a poet’s body of work, reflecting personal, cultural, or philosophical themes. The Diwan is valued for its artistic expression, lyrical language, and insight into the era’s social and spiritual ideas. It functions both as a literary repository and a means of preserving poetic history, offering readers a rich glimpse into the poet’s voice and the cultural context in which the poetry was created.
