روضهٔ ششم بهارستان / Sixth Garden (Rowze 6) of Baharestan – On Poets and Poetry

The sixth rowze (garden) of Jami's Baharestan is a thematic chapter that gathers anecdotes and verses about poets and the craft of poetry. Many of its sections are satirical, mocking incompetent poets, plagiarists, and those whose verse is cold, tasteless, or riddled with metrical and rhyming faults. Section 44 (the faludeh anecdote comparing a bad poet's cold verse to relief from Hell's fire) and its neighboring sections (43 on rhyme faults, 45 on plagiarism, 47 on foul verse, 48 on cold verse curing a poet, 49 on a preacher's insipid poem) all belong to this garden. Placing this rowze node between the whole Baharestan collection and its individual sections preserves the work's structural path (Baharestan → Rowze → Section) instead of hanging every section directly off the top-level collection.
