ANNOTATION
“Masnavi-yi ma`navi” by Mevlana Jalal ad-din Balkhi is one of the greatest masterpieces of Tajik-Persian literature, which has been the subject of a number of studies and interpretations in various countries over the centuries. It is common knowledge that Mevlana began dictating the Masnavi Maanavi for more than ten years, and it was edited by his student Husamuddin Chalabi, but Mevlana died while dictating the sixth book, and thus the great masterpiece remained unfinished. The unfinished completion of the sixth daftar has led to speculation that the work was not completed at the time of Rumi's death, as well as allegations of the existence of another daftar. The article examines one of the oldest texts, “Masnavi-yi ma’navi,” dating back close to the life of Mevlana Jalal ad-din, known as the “Seventh Daftar of Masnavi.” According to sources, this work was written in 814 AH by an unknown poet, and its lithographic edition was published in 1310 by the Bombay Printing House and in 1380 solar calendar by the famous Iranian literary scholar Manuchehri Donishpazhuh in Tehran.
