Diwan

A diwan, from the Persian divan, is a collection of poems by a single author, usually excluding that poet's long poems, produced in the Islamic cultures of West Asia, Central Asia, North Africa, Sicily and South Asia. The great majority of diwan poetry is lyric, chiefly ghazals and kasides, though other genres appear as well, most notably the mesnevi, a form of narrative verse romance whose best known examples are Fuzuli's Layla and Majnun and Seyh Galib's Husn u Ask. The idea originated in Persian literature before spreading to the Arab, Turkic and Indic worlds, and the term was also sometimes used, if not always consistently, in Europe.
