Baba Tahir

Baba Tahir (or Baba Taher Oryan Hamadani) was an 11th-century Persian dervish poet from Hamadan, Iran who lived during the reign of Tugril of the Seljuk dynasty over Iran. His poetry is written in the Hamadani dialect of the Persian language.
Although prefix “Baba” (roughly meaning ‘The Wise’ or the ‘The Respected’) has been thought as part of his name in all known sources, his nickname “Oryan”( meaning ‘The Naked’ ) did not appear until about 17th-century. The nickname was probably attributed to him because he seemed to lead a very spiritual and stoic lifestyle and thus was figuratively not clothed with worldly and material needs.
