o3 Saadi Shirazi :

Abū-Muhammad Muslih al-Dīn bin Abdallāh Shīrāzī better known by his pen-
name Saadi About this sound Sa'di also known as Saadi of Shiraz.
Saadi was born in Shiraz, Iran, c. 1208, or a little earlier. In the Golestan,
composed in 1258, he says in lines evidently addressed to himself, "O you who
have lived fifty years and are still asleep"; another piece of evidence is that in one
of his qasida poems he writes that he left home for foreign lands when the Mongols
came to his homeland Fars, an event which occurred in 1225.
Eight hundred years ago, there Shiraz (Iran) was an educated family. AD 1184 is a
child in the family, he was named as Sharfuddin was born. But in the name of his
father, he was called Muslih Uddin. Saadi Saadi Shirazi is a pen name. Saadi Saad
ibn Zangi, he chose because his family was patron. He was the ruler of Shiraz.
Teach of Sheikh Saadi and Work :
Nowadays, people are increasingly interested in learning more
languages, and sometimes even are obliged to. A large-scale, national governments
and their national language to teach other countries, and try to learn. Muslihuddin
Plain (R.A.N) got his early education from Shiraz. Then he went to Baghdad in
search of knowledge. Baghdad was home to many scholars and intellectuals of that
time. Then he performed Hajj. Saadi Shirazi visited many countries.

He laughed and said: “Since the days of the Mongols against the war, against the
views of my head so I see is expelled earth arrayed with spears like a forest of
reeds struggle I smoked dust such was raised; .. but when luck does not favor, to
take advantage of what I have rage, in dealing with a spear from the palm of the
hand with a ring can take but, my star I was not friends with me, with me as they
surrounded a ring. I seized the opportunity of flying, fortune try with only a fool.
how can I help my helmet and armor favored me when my shining star when not at
hand is the key to victory, no one can break open the door to victory with his arms.
Legacy and poetic style :
Saadi distinguished between the spiritual and the practical or mundane
aspects of life. In his Bustan, for example, spiritual Saadi uses the mundane world
as a spring board to propel himself beyond the earthly realms. The images in
Bustan are delicate in nature and soothing. In the Gulistan, on the other hand,
mundane Saadi lowers the spiritual to touch the heart of his fellow wayfarers. Here
the images are graphic and, thanks to Saadi's dexterity, remain concrete in the
reader's mind. Realistically, too, there is a ring of truth in the division. The Sheikh
preaching in the Khanqah experiences a totally different world than the merchant
passing through a town. The unique thing about Saadi is that he embodies both the
Sufi Sheikh and the travelling merchant. They are, as he himself puts it, two
almond kernels in the same shell.
Saadi's prose style, described as "simple but impossible to imitate" flows quite
naturally and effortlessly. Its simplicity, however, is grounded in a semantic web
consisting of synonymy, homophony, and oxymoron buttressed by internal rhythm
and external rhyme.

Chief among these works is Goethe's West-Oestlicher Divan. Andre du Ryer was
the first European to present Saadi to the West, by means of a partial French
translation of Gulistan in 1634. Adam Olearius followed soon with a complete
translation of the Bustan and the Gulistan into German in 1654.

Death :
In his reference article entitled as Moments with Poet Saadai, Dr Saadat
Noury wrote that, “Saadi died in his hometown of Shiraz. Even from the very early
days after the poet’s death, the tomb of Saadi in Shiraz became a place of
pilgrimage to lovers of poetry and literature.

Saad bin Zangi’s death, his son Abu Bakar bin Zangi Sheraz became King. At that
time, Sheikh Sadi came back to his hometown. At last year, Saadi of Shiraz lived in
a separate house. He got more than hundred years old. Saadi Shirazi died in 1292
AD.
