Diwan (
Persian دیوان), also transliterated as
Deewan or
Divan, is a Persian word
used also in to Arabic (
Arabic: الدیوان) and
Turkish, and was borrowed also at an earlier date into
Armenian.
[1]
The term derived from Pahlavi referring to a collection of poems by a single author; it may be a 'selected works', or the whole body of work of an
Persian,
Urdu or
Ottoman Turkish poet. Thus
Diwan-e-Mir, and so on. It is also worth mentioning that the most famous work with this word as its title is actually the fictional collection of poetry called
Diwan-e Shams-e Tabriz-i by
Rumi, ostensibly by
Shams Tabrizi. The introduction of the term is attributed to
Rudaki.
It has also been applied in a similar way to collections of
Hebrew poetry and to poetry of
al-Andalus
