Vahshi Bafghi

Vahshi Bafghi, one of the great poets of Iranian history, was born in 939 AH in Bafgh city of Yazd province. He spent his primary education in this city and then studied literature with his brother "Moradi Bafghi" and professors such as "Sharafuddin Ali Bafghi" and after that he went to Kashan for a while.

Bafghi wild nickname

Vahshi Bafghi chose this nickname because of his isolation. Wild in the past meant "reclusive" and is quite different from what it is today. A savage is a person who has chosen a life away from the community so as not to be deceived by material things.

In describing Bafghi's savage moral qualities, one can point to his gentle spirit, isolationism, purity, and piety. Despite the fact that many poets at that time traveled to India to enjoy the various facilities available in the Gurkhani court of India and its rulers, he never left Iran and had migrated to Kashan from Bafgh only a few times during his life.

Vahshi Bafghi died in 991 AH at the age of 52 and was buried in a neighborhood known as Aruk Alley (Ahruk) where he lived. His tomb had a marble stone on which was written one of his sad poems

The first wild tomb of Bafghi was built during the reign of the last king of the Safavid dynasty by a man named Mohammad Ali Bey Nazer. Then "Shamsuddin Mohammad Bafghi" builds a dome on it and this building has been intact until 1082 AH. Reza Khan had wide-ranging differences with the Bakhtiari Khans. The ruler of Yazd at that time, "Mudabar Nouri", destroyed this building in 1312 to show his good service to Reza Khan. He even sells Bafghi's wild tombstones; But the memory of this poet will never be lost and a monument will be built in the old stage and tower of Bafghi Wild Park, the restoration work of which will be completed in 1979.
