Diwan (poetry)
text:
In Islamic cultures of the Middle East, North Africa, Sicily and South Asia, a Diwan is a collection of poems by one author, usually excluding his or her long poems (mathnawī). The vast majority of Diwan poetry was lyric in nature: either ghazals or gazels, or kasîdes. There were, however, other common genres, most particularly the mesnevî, a kind of verse romance and thus a variety of narrative poetry; the two most notable examples of this form are the Layla and Majnun of Fuzûlî and the Hüsn ü
