Mele Perîşan

Mele Perîşan[Note 1] (born Mohammad Abulqasim,[6] 1356–1431, Kurdish: مەلا پەرێشان, romanized: Mele Perîşan) was a Kurdish poet who wrote in Kurdish.[6] His main work Parishan-nama is considered to be the oldest work in Gorani.[2] He also wrote in Laki,[7] and many of his works are kept in different libraries in Iran.[8] Mele Perîşan was affiliated with the Ardalan vassaldom.[9]

Biography

Very little is known about the life of Mele Perîşan, but it is plausible that he was born in Dinavar and of the Ghiasvand tribe.[6] He was Shia, Hurufist,[10] spoke Arabic, Persian and Turkish beside Kurdish,[11] and spent most of his life in the Dinavar area.[12]

He was passionate about his religion in his poetry and was moreover an admirer of Rabia of Basra and her position on halal.[9] While Parishan-nama is his main work, he also wrote popular drinking songs in Kurdish which have become popular among Kurds and Iranians.[8]

Parishan-nama

The diwan Parishan-nama was written in Gorani with many Laki words, and contained Hurufist propaganda.[1] It is the only known Hurifist text in Kurdish.[13] It was first printed in Kermanshah in 1916 and subsequently printed several times in different places. It had a syllabic meter, which was a common characteristic of Gorani poetry.[2]
