Work

The only surviving work is Gorgani of WIS and Ramin, a courtly epic, which he wrote 1050-1055. He drew his inspiration from an old, written in Pahlavi legend, which dates back to the era of the Parthian kings.

Wis and Ramin

In the legend, the king of kings Maubad receives (English transliteration: Mobad ( Mobād ) ) by the Queen Chahrou (English transliteration: Schāhru ) The promise, should she give birth to a daughter, to give him this for his wife. After the then WIS born daughter has grown up, married the queen - forgetting her promise - she, however, with their own brother Virou (English transliteration: Wiru ). As a result, explains Mobād Wiru the war, kidnapped WIS using a list and bring it to Khorasan. On the way there developed Ramin, youngest brother Mobāds and foster son Schāhrus, who was charged with the accompaniment of WIS, tenderness towards her and WIS and escape Ramin. After a few adventures that have the two lovers to exist with King Mobād explains Mobād his younger brother to war, but he died as a result of a hunting accident. Ramin follows him to the throne and marries WIS. After the death of his wife Ramin transfers the crown to his son and withdraws into a fire temple, where he remained until his death.

Importance of knowledge and Ramin

The Epic Wis and Ramin establishes a connection between the pre-Islamic and Islamic Iran. It is one of the best works of Persian poetry. The simplicity of the vocabulary and expression by no means weaken the expressive power of images, the plot and the liveliness of feelings. It was the model for later Liebesepen, especially for Khosrow and Shirin by Nezami.
