Mohammad-Hossein Shahriar Net Worth

Background and career

Seyyed Mohammad-Hossein Behjat Tabrizi (Persian: سید محمدحسین بهجت تبریزی, romanized: Seyyed Moḥammad Ḥoseyn Behjat Tabrīzī; 2 January 1906 – 18 September 1988), known by his pen name Shahriar, was an Iranian poet who composed works in both Azerbaijani and Persian.

His most important work, Heydar Babaya Salam, is considered to be the pinnacle of Azerbaijani literature which gained great popularity in the Turkic world and was translated to more than 30 languages.

Contrary to many other figures of his time, Shahriar barely involved himself with political problems and ideologies. He was, however, known for his avid nationalism; in his work, numerous metaphors commending Persepolis, Zoroaster and Ferdowsi are made. Many of his writings were also motived by his religious beliefs, and he composed very popular poems in praise of Ali ibn Abi Talib, the first Imam of Shia Islam.
