The literary magazine published especially Persian literature and articles on Persian history and its neighboring countries. The editor wanted to introduce and familiarize the well-known Persian literature to a broad readership and to inform them about the latest recent books.[2] Further, Persian translations of famous international works, such as Schiller's Maria Stuart, were published.[1]
