Abul Qasim Hasan Unsuri Balkhi ((ペルシア語:ابوالقاسم حسن عنصری بلخی)) (died 1039/1040) was a 10-11th century (4 -5th solar Hejri) Persian poet. He is said to have been born in Balkh, today located in Afghanistan, and he eventually became a poet of the royal court, and was given the title ''Malik-us Shu'ara'' (King of Poets'). His ''Divan'' is said to have contained 30,000 distichs, of which only 2500 remain today. The following dialog between an eagle and a crow, translated by Iraj Bashiri, is an example. In it the King of Poets, Unsuri, compares his own status vis-a-vis that of a young poet who has joined the court recently. The Eagle and The Crow: A Dialogue Translated by Iraj Bashiri :A dialogue occurred, I happen to know, :Betwixt the white eagle and the crow. :Birds we are, said the crow, in the main, :Friends we are, and thus we shall remain. :Birds we are, agreed the eagle, only in name, :Our temperaments, alas, are not the same. :My leftovers are a king's feast, :Carrion you devour, to say the least. :My perch's the king's arm, his palace my bed, :You haunt the ruins, mingle with the dead. :My color is heavenly, as everyone can tell, :Your color inflicts pain, like news from hell. :Kings tend to choose me rather than you, :Good attracts good, that goes for evil too. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Unsuri」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
