Persian Divan
of
Subh-i Azal
دیوان فارسی
صبح ازل
The present writing by Subh-i Azal appears to be the only work by him that is based on the style of Persian poems where each two verses have similar rhymes. It is a journey trough time starting from His Holiness Muhammed to the appearance of the Primal Point in Shiraz. It then takes one through the main historical events concerning the Primal Points such as his travel to Mecca, his return to Shiraz, his arrest, his travel to Isfahan, his imprisonment at Maku and Chihriq and his martyrdom.
Some verses depict the sorrow in his heart caused by the division among the early Bayanis.
It is apparent that Subh-i Azal was deeply saddened by the fact that many chose the wrong path. He describes his utter disappointment and the degree of difficulties that he had to endure and that he remained faithful to the covenant he made with the Primal Point.
Even though the present work is a solid literary work on the style of poems, it would be wrong to consider Subh-i Azal as a poet. This work forms a very small proportion of Subh-i Azal's writings. Also, there appears to be no indication that Subh-i Azal preferred to write in this style.
