The Divan of Zinderam Mobad Kashmiri, an 11th and 12th-century Persian-language poet from India, constitutes a valuable treasury of poetic compositions in diverse forms such as qasida, ghazal, masnavi, ruba'i, and mukhammas, with mystical, historical, and cultural themes. Beyond its formal and thematic variety, this work, through its ornate preface and epilogue—influenced by the styles of Sa'di and Jami and adorned with various forms of saj', janas, and muvazana—attests to the author's literary mastery. Stylistically, Zinderam's Divan falls within the framework of the Indian Style (Sabk-i Hindi) with mystical themes. By employing literary devices such as tashbih, isti'arah, ihām, and talmīh, and under the influence of poets like Hafez, Sa'eb, and Khaghani, it articulates sublime concepts of wisdom and love in an elevated manner. This research, aiming to introduce the manuscript copies of this Divan and analyze its stylistic features, has been conducted using a descriptive-analytical method, relying on two manuscripts held at the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute (as the base manuscript) and the British Museum Library. The findings indicate that the study of this work not only represents a fundamental step towards reviving a segment of the forgotten heritage of Persian literature in the Indian subcontinent but also serves as a dynamic document testifying to the cultural exchanges between Iran and India.
