Dīvān-e Kabīr, Dīvān-e Šhams-e Tabrīzī (The Works of Shams of Tabriz) (Persian: دیوان شمس تبریزی) or Dīvān-e Šhams is one of Mawlānā Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Balkhi's masterpieces. A collection of lyric poems that contains more than 40,000 verses, it is written in the New Persian language and is considered one of the greatest works of Persian literature.
Dīvān-e Kabīr ("the great divan") contains Rumi's poems in several different styles of Eastern-Islamic poetry (e.g. odes, eulogies, quatrains, etc). Although most of the poems are in New Persian, there are also some in Arabic, and a small number of mixed Persian/Greek poems. Dīvān-e Šhams-e Tabrīzī is named in honour of Rumi's spiritual teacher and friend Šhams of Tabrīz.
