Background
Mathnawi Silsilat al- Zahab
The first section of Haft Awrang is Silsilat al- Zahab, which has two distinguishing sections.
- The first, which contains 3,449 couplets, consists of scattered subjects including kalam (scholastic theology), social issues, and mysticism, expressed either directly or subtly through interesting stories or anecdotes.
- The second sub-section, which he titled “I'tiqad-nama”, Confession of the Faith, consists of 240 couplets. In this work, despite his mysticism, Jami presented his orthodox Sunni belief
A description of the experience
Jami - The second daftar of Silsilat al-Zahab [extract]
بشنو ای گوش بر فسانۀ عشق
از صرير قلم ترانۀ عشق
قلم اينک چو نی به لحن صرير
قصۀ عشق می کند تقرير
O' ears hear the story of "love",
From the grinding of the pen the song of "love"
Now the pen gnashes like the nay-reed that chants,
It reports the story of "love".
