Hasht qarn-i kusūf: nāʹguftahʹhāyī az dīdār va hamnishīnī-i Ḥaz̤arāt Shams-i Tabrīzī va Mawlānā Jalāl al-Dīn Muḥammad : bih inz̤imām-i is̤bāt-i shāʻirī-i Ḥaz̤rat-i Shams hamrāh bā ghazalīyāt va rubāʻīyātī az vay

This scholarly work by Hūshang Malikʹniyā, titled Hasht qarn-i kusūf (Eight Centuries of Eclipse), investigates one of the most pivotal moments in the history of Persian mysticism: the meeting between Shams-i Tabrīzī and Mawlānā Jalāl al-Dīn Muḥammad. Published in Tihrān to commemorate the eight hundredth anniversary of this encounter, the text uncovers previously discussion-worthy details regarding their profound companionship. Beyond biographical analysis, the author presents an argument for the poetic legitimacy of Shams-i Tabrīzī, supplementing the study with a collection of ghazals and rubāʻīyāt attributed to him. This volume serves as both a historical reconstruction and a literary critique, offering fresh perspectives on the spiritual heritage of Īrān.
