تحفة الاحرار / Tuhfat al-Ahrar (The Gift of the Free)

Tuhfat al-Ahrar (The Gift of the Free) is the third of the seven independent masnavi poems that together make up Jami's Haft Awrang. Composed in the didactic-mystical tradition of Nizami's Makhzan al-Asrar, it is organized into twenty discourses (مقالات), each treating an ethical or spiritual theme and usually followed by an illustrative anecdote. The Seventeenth Discourse (مقاله هفدهم) addresses the beauty of the beloved (حسن خوبان) as a manifestation of divine beauty. Placing this book between the Haft Awrang collection and its individual discourses preserves the structural path Jami to Haft Awrang to Book to Section.
