Abstract
"Khayyām School" in the quatrain, from the beginning of its development until today, has a history of as long as ten centuries and enjoys a sphere of influence as vast as all the Persian-speaking lands, from the Indian subcontinent to the ends of Anatolia. The list of Khayyam's lovers, companions and followers in Persian quatrain is a long and long list. One of them who is less mentioned in Persian sources is Muṣṭafā ‘Ālī Effendi (d. 1008 AH), a famous Ottoman poet, secretary and historian during the reign of Sultan Salim and Sultan Murad, who wrote poetry in three languages: Turkish, Persian and Arabic and was referred to as " Ālī " in his poems. In 1003 AH, he compiled a book of Persian quatrains to follow Khayyam's quatrains along with detailed biography of his own and that of ‘Umar Khayyām. This book is known as "Badi’ 'al-Raqūm", "Rabi' al-Munzūm" and "Rabi’ 'al-Mursūm". In the present article, I have introduced and reviewed this book of poems.
