Zahir-al-Din Faryabi
Zahir-al-Din Abu-al-Fazl Tahir ibn Muhammad (Persian: ظهیرالدّین ابوالفضل طاهر بن محمد; c. 1156 – 1201) mostly known as Zahir Faryabi (Persian: ظهیر فاریابی) was a 12th-century Persian poet.[1]
He was born about 1156 (551 AH) in Faryab (in today's Afghanistan), and was probably of Turkish blood.[2] His works mostly consist of Qasidas for several Seljuq Emirs. He dedicated at least one poem to the Shirvanshah Akhsitan I.[3] He died in 1201 in Tabriz.
