Qovsi Tabrizi ( Azerbaijani: قوسی تبریزلی; Persian: قوسی تبریزی; born Alijan Ismailoghlu Qovsi [1] [2]) was a 17th-century poet.
Qovsi Tabrizi was born in Tabriz in the first quarter of the 17th century, [1] [2] to an Azerbaijani family. [3] His father, Ismail Qovsi was a craftsman and a poet. [1] [4] Tabrizi was educated in Isfahan and during his stay there, he wrote poems about Tabriz and often compared the two cities. [1]
Tabrizi hated social injustice and ridiculed clergy in his works. The theme of romantic love and an idealistic and pantheistic worldview took a significant place in his lyrics. Pessimistic motifs are also present, shown in his descriptions of people's thoughts and hopes. Other features of Tabrizi's poems include a diversity of representations, forms and intonations. [4] Qovsi Tabrizi often used literary expressions of folk language. [5] [1]
Collections of Tabrizi's lyrical poems are stored in two manuscripts. One is in the British Library in London and the other is in the History Museum of Georgia in Tbilisi. [4]
