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

Subhat al-Abrar (The Rosary of the Pious) is the fourth of the seven masnavi poems that make up Jami's Haft Awrang. It is organized as a string of forty knots (عقد), each a bead-like chapter that treats an ethical or Sufi theme — such as repentance, sincerity, love, or hope — and illustrates it with anecdotes. This knot structure is what gives a section like the Sixteenth Knot on Hope its place, sitting as an intermediate literary work between the whole Haft Awrang collection and its individual sections.
