One of the greatest Persian poets, Afḍal al-Dīn Ibrāhīm Khāqānī, is still insufficiently known to the public. Only in 1937 was his Dīvān printed in Tehran, and before that date the readers had to content themselves with an inconvenient Indian lithograph published some seventy years ago. The long Mathnavī ( Tuḥfat al 'Irāqayn ) in which the poet describes his pilgrimage accomplished in 551–2/1156–7 is available only in Indian lithographs.
