A Newly Discovered Ode from KasaʹI

The most comprehensive research on the life and poetry of Kasal so far is done by Mohamamd Amin RiyAhi, who managed to collect, based on recent and previous studies, 307 lines of KasaTs poetry. Based on some newly discovered sources, Ali Ashraf SActeqhi added nine more lines to the collection. In this paper, the writer introduces a newly discovered ode by Kasal which is written in praise of Imam Ali (peace be upon him), scribed by Abdol Karim IVUddAh in 1444. This ode consists of 26 lines and has the following characteristics: It is one of the oldest manuscripts recording one of KasaTs poems; it is complete, presenting a yet another reason that Kasal was a Shiite Muslim. In line 25, Kasal mentions his pen name.
