Awhadi has a divan of 8000 verses which consists of the Persian poetic forms
qasidas,
ghazals, tarji'bands and
rubaʿis. The
qasidas are in praise of
Abu Sa'id Bahadur Khan and his vizier,
Ghiyath al-Din Muhammad, the son of
Rashid al-Din Hamadani. His other poems play on various themes including mysticism, ethics, and religious subjects. He also is known for his
marsiyas (elegies). In addition to his divan of shorter poems, he has left two important Persian works in
Masnavi form. The
Dah-nama or
Manteq al-Oshaaq consists of 600 verses and was completed in 1307 for Wajih Al-din Yusef, the grandson of the famous
Nasir al-Din Tusi. His most important and well known work was the Masnavi
Jām-i Jam ("The Cup of
Jamshid") also called
Jām-e-Jahānbīn ("The mirror of the universe"). It was written in 1333 and has 5000 verses and follows the style of
Sanai's
Hadiqah. Sample quotes from
Jām-i Jam: • «پایداری به عدل و داد بود// ظلم و شاهی، چراغ و باد بود» • «خاك از ایشان چگونه مشك شود// گر به دریا روند خشك شـود» • «خواب را گفتهای برادر مرگ// چو بخسبی همی زنی درِ مرگ» • «دزد را شحنه راه و رخت نمود// کشتن دزد بیگناه چه سود؟// دزد با شحنه چون شریک بود// کوچهها را عسس چریک بود» • «نفس خود را بكش نبرد اين است// منتهای كمال مرد این است» Ali Karamustafa notes in
Der Islam, narrating about perceptions of
Turkomans in Iran and the lands further west in the 12th to 14th centuries, that Awhadi Maraghai considered Turkomans to be "unthinking (
bī-fekr) and naïve country bumpkins easily fooled by thieves." ==Fahlavi Poem==
