Īvān-i Madāʼin az dīdgāh-i dū shā‘ir-i nāmī-i Tāzī va Pārsī, Buḥturī va Khāqānī: taḥqīq va muqāyisah va sharḥ-i mans̱ūr va manz̤ūm

This scholarly work by Sayyid Amīr Maḥmūd Anvār presents a detailed comparative study of two major poems in Middle Eastern literature that describe the ruins of the Sassanid Arch of Ctesiphon (Tāq-i Kisrā). The author analyses the Qaṣīdah Sīniyyah by the renowned Arabic poet al-Buḥturī alongside the Īvān-i Madāʼin by the Persian master Khāqānī. The text includes the original verses, prose and verse translations by Anvār, and critical commentary on the literary devices, historical context, and themes of regret and transience expressed by both poets. Published by Dānishgāh-i Tihrān, this third edition explores the intersection of Arabic and Persian literary traditions through the lens of this shared historical monument.
