Abu'l-Hasan Mihyar al-Daylami (died 1037) was an Arabic-language poet of Daylamite origin during the Buyid period.[1] Mihyar's poetry was dominated by metaphor, and he wrote in various poetic genres including ghazal,[2] riddles,[3]: 265 as well as writing elegies on Ali and Husayn ibn Ali.[2]
A former Zoroastrian, Mihyar was converted to Shia Islam by his teacher who was also poet.[1][2][4][5] Ibn Khallikan narrates that Mihyar was harshly rebuked by an acquaintance for reviling the companions of Muhammad.[1]
Ibn Khallikan, who said Mihyar's works were so high in number that it fills four volumes, opined that Mihyar's writings "displayed great delicacy of thought and a remarkable loftiness of mind."[1] However, Mihyar's poetic style was criticized for being "artificial and derivative."[2]
