About this person
Shifa'i Isfahani was a physician and poet in 16th and 17th century Safavid Iran, as well as the poet laureate of Shah Abbas I. The didactic masnavi Namakdan-e haqiqat is considered his best work, made to resemble the Hadiqat al-Haqiqa by Sanai. Although writers of Shifa'i's era criticised his harsh and frequently sarcastic humor, they considered him as one of the greatest poets of his era.
