About this work

This is a poem or poetic fragment in Persian by Khwaju of Kerman, a medieval Persian poet. The opening line invokes an image of sorcery or magic, comparing it to an archer drawing a bow, using the classical Persian poetic vocabulary of enchantment and mystical love. Without further context from the source, only this much can be said: the work engages the conventional themes of Persian lyric poetry through metaphors of magical power and archery.
