The Recently Found Poems by Kamal Esmail

By the term “recently found” in this article, the author means the poems found in some sources under the name of Kamal Esmail which do not appear in his only authoritative edition of his Divan edited by the Late Bahr al-Olumi. Exceptions are the poems allegedly seen in the Divan by the editors of these collections (like Nezhat al-Majales). There is no need to make a second list of them here. Beforehand, some of these poems were identified by Hassan Atefi, though we do not believe that all of them are authentically by Kamal. However, these poems should be included in the next edition of his Divan. Most of them are in the form of Rubaee (رباعی). The article does not include all the poems attributed to him and probably, there are other poems by him in other sources. We hope that these poems would shed more light on the portrait of Kamal Esmail.
