Vīs-o Rāmīn Verses in Tāj al-Ma āsir

Tāj al-Ma’āsir written by Hasan Nizāmī Nayshābūrī is one of the first texts in Persian that deals with part of India’s history and the conquest of Muslim rulers of Ghur. An important aspect of the work is the many Persian verses included in the book that were written by poets living before its composition. This makes the work a valuable source for the critical edition of the poems included therein such as Vīs-o Rāmīn, no manuscript of which has ever been found. The present article explores and investigates Vīs-o Rāmīn in this text and compares it with the original.
