Zahir-al-Din Faryabi

Zahir-al-Din Abu-al-Fazl Tahir ibn Muhammad (c. 1156 – 1201) mostly known as Zahir Faryabi was a 12th-century Persian poet.

He was born about 1156 (551 AH) in Faryab (in today's Afghanistan), and was probably of Turkish blood. His works mostly consist of Qasidas for several Seljuq Emirs. He dedicated at least one poem to the Shirvanshah Akhsitan I. He died in 1201 in Tabriz.
