Saḥmī Bukhārāʾī, a prominent yet understudied poet of the Akbarid era, remains an enigmatic figure in Persian literature due to scant historical accounts. Born and raised in Bukhara, he exhibited poetic talent from childhood, adopting his pen name from his father’s profession as a fletcher. Saḥmī flourished during the reigns of Humāyūn, Akbar, and Jahāngīr, composing panegyrics in their honor. Kāmi Qazvīnī notes his authorship of a now-lost treatise inspired by Busḥāq-i Aṭʿimaʾī. His Dīvān, preserved under catalogue number P541 in the Central Library of Banaras Hindu University, remains unindexed. Identified by Professor Syed Hasan Abbas, this manuscript is undergoing critical editing. This study explores Saḥmī’s life and works using biographical accounts and internal evidence, offering a literary, historical and codicological analysis of his Dīvān and its Mughal-era significance.
