Afzal al-Dīn Badīl ibn ʿAlī ibn ʿOthmān (Persian: افضلالدّین بدیل بن علی بن عثمان), commonly known as Khāqānī (Persian: خاقانی, IPA: [xɒːɣɒːˈniː], c. 1120[lower-roman 1] – c. 1199), was a major Persian[lower-roman 2] poet and prose-writer. He was born in Transcaucasia in the historical region known as Shirvan, where he served as an ode-writer to the Shirvanshahs. His fame most securely rests upon the qasidas collected in his Divān, and his autobiographical travelogue Tohfat al-ʿErāqayn. He is also notable for his exploration of the genre that later became known as habsiyāt ("prison poetry").
