Abstract

Sultan Ahmad Jalayir (759-813 AH) is among the art-loving and art-supporting rulers who governed this land. Besides his patronage of great artists, he himself engaged in certain areas, notably his profound interest in poetry, resulting in a comprehensive divan spanning seven volumes. Examining this divan reveals Sultan Ahmad's familiarity with the works of other poets. One such poet is Sa’di, whom Sultan Ahmad extensively acknowledges in his verses, and the impact of this acknowledgment can be gleaned from Sultan's divan. In this article, we explore Sultan Ahmad Jalayir's influence from Sa’di.
