Overview

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 honour Malek osh-Shoara (poet laureate) from Abbas the Great, but he was not successful and emmigrated 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]
