Do-baytī

Do-bayti, also known as fahlaviyat, is an ancient form of Persian poetry. It is used to describe a Persian quatrain, similar to Ruba'i but different in meter.

An example from Baba Taher
A well-known writer of do-bayti poems is the 11th-century Baba Taher-e Oryan of Hamadan, who wrote in the Hamadani dialect (which, however, is very close to standard Persian). An example of one of his poems (converted to standard Persian) is the following: : * : * : : : : :"The blackness of your two eyes has killed me! :The longness of your two locks has killed me! :You have no need of arrows and a bow to despatch me :The curve of your eyebrow and eyelashes has killed me!"
