Mustafa Darir

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Muṣṭafā Ḍarīr (seventh-century AH/fourteenth-century CE, born in Erzurum) was a Turkish-speaking scholar. His epithet ḍarīr means 'blind' and he is believed to have been blind from birth.[1] According to Fahi̇r İz, "Ḍarīr shows remarkable mastery of ʿarūḍ; his verse is fluent and he often reaches the heights of lyric poetry. His pleasant and simple prose is one of the best specimens of early Turkish narrative style".[1]
