Omidi Tehrani was one of the most talented poets of last years of Timurid era and early years of Safavid era. He was one of the students of Mola Jalalodin Davani. He was a physician. However, he was interested in composing poems. He was particularly proficient in composing odes (Qasideh). Similar to other poets of that era, he used this type of poem to eulogize Safavid’s kings. He was a Shia Muslim. His eulogy of Shia Imams can be seen in many of his poems. In the last years of his life, he lived in Omid Garden in Tehran. As a result of an animosity between him and the father of King (Shah) Qasem Norbakhsh, he was martyred in that place. In his complete poetic works, in addition to odes (Qasideh) and love poems (Gazal), there are some bacchanalian poems that are well-known among literature-lovers. In these bacchanalian poems, he followed Hafez’s style. This article looks at the life of this poet and his religious beliefs and his styles of composing poems. There are sixteen handwritten manuscripts of his poetic works. Some of these manuscripts are complete. Some of them include parts of his poems. These poems are discussed in this article. Also, all sources which have referred to him and his works are reviewed.
