سبحة الابرار / Subhat al-Abrar (Rosary of the Pious)

Subhat al-Abrar (سبحة الابرار)

Subhat al-Abrar, the Rosary of the Pious, is the fourth masnavi of Jami's collection Haft Awrang (its sections carry the ganjoor path 7-4). Modeled in form on Nizami's Makhzan al-Asrar, it is organized as a chain of knots (عقد), each devoted to a spiritual theme or station (مقام) of the Sufi path — among them repentance, scrupulous piety (ورع), asceticism (زهد), poverty (فقر), patience (صبر), gratitude (شکر), contentment (قناعت), and humility. Most knots pair a didactic discourse and illustrative tale with a supplication (مناجات) addressed to God.

The numbered sections (بخش) of this work — including the individual مناجات poems such as those on Faqr, Sabr, and Shukr — belong under this specific masnavi, which in turn sits under the seven-part Haft Awrang collection.
