Muḥammad ibn Waṣīf (
Fragments of four of Wasif's poems, probably Arabic by his court poets.[1]
Wasif's career lasted for over fifty years, as the last fragment in the Tarikh-i Sistan mentions the captivity of Amr ibn al-Layth's (r. 879–901) two grandsons Tahir and Ya'qub in 908/9.[1]
Wasif died in 909.[3]

Contemporary Persian and Classical Persian are the same language, but writers since 1900 are classified as contemporary. At one time, Persian was a common cultural language of much of the non-Arabic Islamic world. Today it is the official language of Iran, Tajikistan and one of the two official languages of Afghanistan.
