The Study of Amir Khosrow Dehalvi's Divan of Sonnets on the basis of Some Authentic Manuscripts

Amir Khosrow Dehlavi، the famous poet of India، is one of the most prolific poets of Persian language who has influenced deeply the poetry of Persian poets after himself in Iran and Indus lands. Though most of his fame refers to his Mathnavies، there are a number of good and elaborated sonnets belonging to him which show his high status in Persian poetry. The Divan of his sonnets has been published several times in Iran and India. Among these is Tehran’s published version with the introduction of Saeed Nafisi and corrected by M. Darvish which has been used by Iqbal Salah al-Din as one of the main criteria in his later correction of Amir Khosrow’s Divan. Since this latter correction is not found in Iran، Muhammad Roshan has published the very work of Iqbal Salah al-Din with some minor changes and eliminating variant copies. This correction، which today is referenced as a source in most researches and articles، has mistakes، Tashifs and minor and major problems. This article aims to show some fundamental problems and Tahrifs and Tashifs in the published Divan of Amir Khosrow on the basis of three authentic manuscripts of his Divan and also point to some of his newly-found poems and verses.
