Summary/Abstract: Awhaduddin Kirmani is a Sufi shaikh who lived in the 13th century, the golden age of the Islamic thought and spirituality in which many great people lived. He was a personal friend of Muhyiddin ibn Arabi and knew a large number of the intellectual and spiritual enthusiasts from that period. He was and still is one of the most significant Persian poets who wrote in the poetic form of quatrains. He wrote a Diwan containing 1807 quatrains which are intellectually very deep and mostly expressing the gnostic aspect of the Sufi teachings. This paper offers a selection of 55 quatrains from his Diwa­­­­n.
