    Biography

    Very little is known about the life of Mele Perîşan, but it is plausible that he was born in Dinavar and of the Ghiasvand tribe. He was Shia, Hurufist,^[3] spoke Arabic, Persian and Turkish beside Kurdish,^[4] and spent most of his life in the Dinavar area.^[5]

    He was passionate about his religion in his poetry and was moreover an admirer of Rabia of Basra and her position on halal.^[6] While Parishan-nama is his main work, he also wrote popular drinking songs in Kurdish which have become popular among Kurds and Iranians.

    Parishan-nama

    The diwan Parishan-nama was written in Gorani with many Laki words, and contained Hurufist propaganda.^[7] It is the only known Hurifist text in Kurdish.^[8] It was first printed in Kermanshah in 1916 and subsequently printed several times in different places. It had a syllabic meter, which was a common characteristic of Gorani poetry.^[9]
