The Conference of the Birds by Farid ud-Din Attar

The Conference of the Birds by Farid ud-Din Attar

In this twelfth-century Persian masterpiece, the birds of the world set out on a perilous journey led by a hoopoe to find their true king, the mythical Simorgh, and along the way each bird's individual excuses for turning back reveal a distinct spiritual failing standing between them and enlightenment.

Attar's allegory functions as a comprehensive map of the Sufi mystical path, and the poem's famous final revelation — that the thirty surviving birds who complete the journey find that they themselves collectively are the Simorgh they sought — remains one of the most celebrated images in all of Sufi literature.

A foundational masterpiece of Sufi mystical poetry, among the greatest works of classical Persian literature.
