Saadi, one of the giants of Islamic, Persian and World literature, was born in Shiraz, Persia sometime between 1184 and 1213 C.E. He was a master of both prose and verse, especially lyric poetry (ghazals) in Persian which was to influence Arabic, Turkish and Urdu poetry. His Rose Garden is one of the four most popular works of classical Persian literature. He died in Shiraz on December 9, 1291.
