The Saeb Mausoleum (Persian: آرامگاه صائب; Arabic: ضريح صائب التبريزي) is an Islamic mausoleum, located in Esfahan, in the province of Isfahan, Iran. The mausoleum is the burial place of Mohammad Ali ibn Mirza Abdul Rahim Tabrizi, more commonly known as Saeb Tabrizi,[a] a famous Iranian poet of 17th century.
The mausoleum was added to the Iran National Heritage List on 9 February 1977 and is administered by the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran.
Overview
[edit]The ancestry of Saeb Tabrizi stems from Shams Tabrizi, Rumi's spiritual instructor. Saeb's father was one of the famous merchants in Tabriz. When Isfahan became the capital city, Saeb moved to Isfahan with his family. He tried for a long time to get the title of honor Malek osh-Shoara (poet laureate) from the King Abbas I, but he was not successful and he immigrated to India.[1]
Saeb's mausoleum was completed in 1967,[2] during the Pahlavi era, but his gravestone was dated 1087 AH (1676/1677 CE).[1]
