Hamedan. Tomb of Baba Taher A modern tiled pavilion stands on a small hill in Hamedan marking the grave of Baba Taher, the Naked One, who died here in A.D. 1019. Baba Taher was a wandering mystic whose intense religious search brought him personal suffering as well as divine joy which he expressed in songs and poetry composed in a rustic local dialect. "A nameless, homeless braggart, A Calendar (wandering mystic) am I: By day the world's my parish, At night with weary sigh On beds of stone I lie. No moth e'er knew such burning, No madman bore such dree: Ants have their nests for shelter, For serpents holes there be But roof is none for me." |
