Khaqani

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.06 sec.

Khaqani (c. 1106-c. 1185)

Persian poet. He is acknowledged as a master of the qasida (a highly stylized poetic form), though his style is regarded as extremely difficult and obscure. Khaqani also wrote satires, epigrams, a mathnavi poem ‘The Gift of the Two Iraqs’, and a ballad inspired by a period spent in prison after falling foul of his patron, the prince of Baku.
