Persian poems published in Cyrillic

TEHRAN – A selection of works by classical Persian poet, musician Amir-Khosro Dehlavi has been published in Cyrillic in the Tajik city of Khudjand. 

The book, which contains over 100 lyric poems, has been published by the Kaveh Publishing Institute under the auspices of Iran’s cultural attaché’s office in Tajikistan. 

The poems were transliterated from Persian into Cyrillic at the Filologi Institution for Linguistics in Khudjand. 

An iconic figure in the cultural history of the Indian subcontinent, Dehlavi (1253–1325) wrote poetry primarily in Persian. 

He was an expert in many styles of Persian poetry that Khaqani, Nezami and many other Iranian poets used in their works.
