سبحة‌الابرار / Subhat al-Abrar (The Rosary of the Pious)

سبحة‌الابرار (Subhat al-Abrar, 'The Rosary of the Pious') is the fourth masnavi of Jami's Haft Awrang. It is a didactic poem structured as a سبحه (prayer-rosary) of forty عقد (knots). Each knot treats one ethical or mystical station — such as modesty (حیا), freedom (حریت), chivalry (فتوت), truthfulness (صدق), sincerity (اخلاص), contentment (قناعت), and humility (تواضع) — and is developed through a discourse, illustrative stories, and a concluding مناجات (supplication) that carries the seeker from one station to the next. The numbered بخش/sections of this work (both the knots and their supplications) are its internal subdivisions.
