description: "Abu Hafs Sughdi was an Iranian poet and musician of the late-third/ninth to early-fourth/tenth century. Not much is known about his life. But, it is believed that Abu Hafs was the first poet to write poetry in the New Persian language. He was possibly the inventor of the musical instrument called the shahrūd (شاهرود). According to some primary sources, he was the author of an Arabic-Persian dictionary, which is lost today, but was available as late as the 11th century AH. It is also possible that the author of this dictionary was another person also named Abu Hafs."
