Abstract

Nizami Ganjavi (1141–1209), is the chief romantic poet of Persia, Nizami is considered the 
greatest romantic epic poet in Persian literature, who brought a colloquial and realistic style to the 
Persian epic. His heritage is widely appreciated and shared by India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, 
Azerbaijan, Iran,the Kurdistan region and Tajikistan.Nizami is best known for his five long narrative 
poems, which have been preserved.Nizami was a master of the Masnavi style (double-rhymed verses). 
He wrote poetical works; the main one is the Panj Ganj (Persian:Five Treasures) which is also known 
by the Persian pronunciation of the Arabic word Khamsa ("Quintet" or "Quinary"). 
Eskandar-nameh"The Book of Alexander" (1194) or (1196–1202). The Romance of 
“Alexander the Great” contains 10,500 distichs. There is a difference of opinion on whether this was 
Nizami's last epic. The story is based on Islamic myths developed about Alexander the Great, which is 
derived from Qur'anic references to the Dhu'l-Qarnayn as well as from the Greek Alexander romance 
of Pseudo-Callisthenes. It consists of two books, Sharaf-Nameh and Iqbal-nameh..The land of sub
