Шаблон:Infobox writer Badr Shirvani (Шаблон:Lang-fa; sometimes Romanized Shirwani; 1387–1450) was a Persian poet.Шаблон:Sfn He spent most of his career at the court of the Shirvanshahs, but received patronage from other rulers as well.

Early life

Badr was born in Shamakhi in Shirvan (present-day Azerbaijan) to a certain Hajji Shams al-Din, a seemingly wealthy figure. Badr's father paid little attention to him after his mother died. Little is known about his education; according to his own writings, Badr "was precocious and began writing poetry at the age of ten or eleven". Most information about Badr's life stems from his own works.Шаблон:Sfn

Work

The majority of Badr's divan consists of "panegyric odes" (qasidas). Most of these "odes" are dedicated to the ruling Shirvanshah dynasty and the court, in particular Ibrahim I (Шаблон:Reign1378–1418) and Khalil I (Шаблон:Reign1418–1463). Badr however, did not devote himself exclusively to writing about the Shirvanshahs and the elite of Shirvan. He also received patronage from the Paduspanid ruler Kayumarth I (Шаблон:Reignca. 1400–1453), the Kara Koyunlu ruler Jahan Shah (Шаблон:Reign1434–1467), and the Timurid ruler Shah Rukh (Шаблон:Reign1409–1447), and thus wrote poems for all three as well.Шаблон:Sfn

Though Badr may have travelled in order to present these poems to Kayumarth, Jahan Shah and Shah Rukh in person, he continued to live most of his life in Shirvan. According to Dawlatshah Samarqandi, Badr met Katibi Nishapuri "when the latter visited Shirvan". Throughout his work, Badr compared himself on more than one occasion to Khaqani, who worked at the Shirvanshah court some two centuries earlier, and like him, wrote many works filled with panegyric text. The works of Khaqani and Badr Shirvani differ quite significantly however. Khaqani's poetry is characterized by "learned complexity and allusiveness", whereas that of Badr primarily contains "direct and flowing diction".Шаблон:Sfn

Other than his panegyric odes, his divan consists of many other poetic forms which were significant at the time, in particular "occasional, monthematic qit'a and the lyric ghazal". Badr wrote verses and poems in Arabic, Azeri Turkish and various Caspian Sea dialects of Persian. According to Paul E. Losensky, this reflects "the multilingual environment" in which Badr lived.Шаблон:Sfn Badr's work also serves as documentation about the Persian and Fahlavi dialect of Shirvan.Шаблон:Sfn

In 1985, Badr's works were "recovered, edited and published". According to Losensky, this was made possible thanks to a unique manuscript which had seemingly been prepared shortly after Badr's death.Шаблон:Sfn

Death

Badr died in 1450, probably in his native Shamakhi.Шаблон:Sfn The location of his grave remains unknown.Шаблон:Sfn
