The Memorials of Arif Chah-Abi

Mohammad Ibrahim Chah-Abi's gathering of the work and life of the poet Abdullah Arif, born in 1260 and died in 1322 of the Khorshidi calendar after sixty-three years. Arif was known not only in Afghanistan but in the cities across the Amu Darya — Bukhara, Samarkand, Termez, Qaratagin, Pata-Kisar, Kulab, Baljuan and Khoqand — where he found friends and became formidable at interpreting the verse of Mirza Abdul Qader Bedil in the Bedil-reading assemblies of Transoxiana. He composed something in the order of sixty thousand couplets, of which roughly a sixth has been recovered. Text in Dari/Persian.
