Kulliyāt-i Shams: Dīvān - bā kashf al-abyāt Persiska (Farsi) 2007

Diwan-e Shams-e Tabrizi, also known as Diwan-e Kabir or Kolliyāt-e Shams-e Tabrizi, is the lyrical corpus of Jalal al-Din Muhammad Balkhi (Rumi), comprising his ghazals, quatrains (rubāʿiyyāt), and refrain poems (tarjiʿ-bands). In the Mevlevi tradition, the work was originally understood simply as Rumi’s ghazals, later receiving the title Diwan-e Kabir. The designation Diwan-e Shams-e Tabrizi became prevalent because a large portion of the ghazals are addressed to Shams al-Din Tabrizi.

From early on, the Diwan circulated widely among Sufi circles and samaʿ gatherings, and both abridged and complete manuscripts were often arranged according to metrical patterns. The most comprehensive and authoritative critical edition was prepared by Badiʿ al-Zaman Foruzanfar, who collated twelve early manuscripts and published the work in ten volumes (1957–1966). This edition contains 36,360 verses: 3,230 ghazals, 1,994 quatrains, and 44 tarjiʿ-bands; the first seven volumes present the poems, the eighth is devoted to the quatrains, and the final two volumes comprise indexes.

Within the Diwan-e Shams, some ghazals appear without a pen name, while others conclude with the takhallus “Khāmush/Khamosh” (“Silent”), Rumi’s own signature. Around one hundred or fewer ghazals are attributed to Husam al-Din Chalabi and Salah al-Din Zarkub; the remainder typically end with the name Shams or Shams of Tabriz.
