خردنامه اسکندری / Kheradnama-ye Eskandari (Book of Alexandrian Wisdom)

Kheradnama-ye Eskandari

خردنامه اسکندری (Kheradnama-ye Eskandari, the Book of Alexandrian Wisdom) is the seventh and final masnavi of Jami's Haft Awrang. In didactic and philosophical verse it treats the deeds, journeys, and death of Alexander (Sikandar), culminating in a long mourning sequence in which Greek sages first deliver their laments (ندبه) and then offer their condolences (تعزیت) over the dead king. The numbered sections on the sages' laments and condolences — such as Section 72, the fifth sage's condolence — are consecutive passages inside this single masnavi.
