((Nima of Iran))
The famous contemporary Iranian poet,
Ali Esfandiari or Nima Yoshij was born in 1276 AH in the village of Yosh, in the Baladeh section of Noor city.
Nima's father taught him rural life, shooting and horseback riding. Nima lived in his hometown, Yush village, in the heart of nature until he was twelve years old. He went to Tehran with his family when he was 12 years old and studied at St. Louis High School. At school, he would withdraw from the children and, according to Nima himself, would constantly run away from school with one of his friends. He started the Khorasani style. Nima has dedicated the long poem of the legend to Nizam Vafa, his old teacher. After graduating from Sanlui School, Nima worked for the Ministry of Finance, but after a while she did not find the job she wanted and left.
Ali Esfandiari changed his name to Nima in 1300 AH. Nima was the name of one of the generals of Tabarestan and it means big bow. He signed his poems under the same name.
Nima Yoshij fell in love with a girl at a young age, but was unable to marry her due to religious differences. After this defeat, he fell in love with a village girl named Safura and wanted to marry her, but the girl refused to come to the city; Therefore, the second love did not end well.
Finally, Nima got married on May 26, 1305. His wife, Alieh Jahangir, was the son of Mirza Ismail Shirazi and the niece of the famous writer Mirza Jahangir Surasrafil.
In 1300, Nima published the pale story poem that he had written a year ago in the twentieth century weekly Mirzadeh Eshghi. The first part of this work was published in the twentieth century. Then he composed the legend in which a romantic spirit prevails and Nima has a different view of love and rejects mystical love.
