The Saeb Mausoleum (Persian: آرامگاه صائب; Arabic: ضريح صائب التبريزي) is an Islamic mausoleum, located in Isfahan, Isfahan province, Iran. The mausoleum is the burial place of Mohammad Ali ibn Mirza Abdul Rahim Tabrizi, more commonly known as Saib Tabrizi,[a] a famous 17th centuty Iranian poet.
The mausoleum was added to the Iran National Heritage List on 9 February 1977 and is administered by the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran.
Overview
The ancestry of Saeb Tabrizi stems from Shams Tabrizi, Rumi's spiritual instructor. Saeb's father was one of the famous merchants in Tabriz. When Isfahan became the capital city, Saeb moved to Isfahan with his family. He tried for a long time to get the title of honour Malek osh-Shoara (poet laureate) from Abbas the Great, but he was not successful and emmigrated to India.[1]
Saeb's mausoleum was completed in 1967,[2] during the Pahlavi era, but his gravestone was dated 1087 AH (1676/1677 CE).[1]
