Abstract

Mohammad Ali Foroughi (1877-1942), widely known for his political career, was also active in philosophy, history, and literature, leaving behind several works in these fields. However, few people recognize Foroughi as a poet. By examining the Tarbiat magazine, which was published by his father, Mohammad Hossein Foroughi, three poems attributed to Mohammad Ali Foroughi have been found. This article presents the complete text of these poems. The accurate meter and rhyme of these verses indicate that he was well-versed in the art of poetry. However, the reasons behind why he did not continue his poetic endeavors remain a subject for further investigation.
