    About Bagh O Bahar, or Tales of the Four Darweshes

    "Bagh O Bahar, or Tales of the Four Darweshes" by Amir Khusraw Dihlavi is a collection of allegorical stories written in Persian in the early 13th century. A melancholy king, contemplating his mortality, abandons his palace to seek wisdom. In a cemetery, he encounters four dervishes who share fantastical tales of love and fidelity from their past lives. Like "One Thousand and One Nights," the stories nest within each other, weaving romance, magic, and the intervention of jinns into an intricate narrative tapestry.
