Muhammad Ibn Abdullah Taleb Amoli known as Talib Amuli and Talib Amoli (
Taleb played a crucial role in the rapid transformation of poetic style at the beginning of the 17th century. His work gave a free rein to the tendency toward conceptualism (Fantasy) in the “fresh style” (later known as the Indian Style) that had begun to emerge a generation earlier in the poetry of Naẓiri and ʿOrfi. At the same time, he gave a new vitality to conventional images and common idioms by exploring their full figurative implications, a procedure Taleb himself revealingly dubs his ṭarz-e esteʿāre (metaphorical style). Taleb entered Jahangir’s service about 1616 and was appointed to the post of poet laureate (Malek osh-Sho'ara) in 1619. His Ghazal poems are very similar to Hafez.[3][4][5]
Taleb after poets Ferdowsi and Omar Khayyam, is the third poet in terms of the number of verses among Iranian poets.[6][7] Taleb, the number of couplets in the published complex is approaching 23,000.[8] Taleb was buried in the compound of the Taj Mahal at Shah Jahan command when he died. Taleb gravesite is unknown.[9][10]
Poem
ما به استقبال غم کشور به کشور میرویم چون ز پا محروم میمانیم با سر میرویم
صد ره این ره رفتهایم و بار دیگر میرویم العطشگویان به استقبال ساغر میرویم
چون به پا رفتن میسر نیست ما را سوی دوست نامه میگردیم و با بالِ کبوتر میرویم
کنون کز مو به مویم اضطراب تازه میریزد نسیمی گر وزد اوراقم از شیرازه میریزد
لب عیشم به هر عمری نوایی میزند اما زبان شیونم هردم هزار آوازه میریزد
دلی دارم که در آغوش مرهم زخم ناسورش نمک میگوید و خمیازه بر خمیازه میریزد
عجب گر نقشبندیهای صبر ما درست آید که عشق این طرح بیپرگار، بیاندازه میریزد
