Kisai Marvazi

Kisa'i Marvazi (Persian: کسایی مروزی‎; 953–1002) was a 10th-century Persian poet.

Not to be confused with Al-Kisa'i.

His full name was probably Abu’l-Hasan (or Abu Ishaq) Majd al-Din ʿAli ibn Muhammad Kisāʾi (or Kasāʾi) Marvazi (according to Ali al-Bakharzi, author of Dumyat al-Qasr). Born in 953 CE and originating from Merv, he paid flattery first and foremost to the courts of the Samanids, but also to the Abbasids and Ghaznavids, particularly Mahmud of Ghazni.

He is said to have later converted to Shia Islam.
