TEHRAN -- Iranian scholar Alireza Qazveh is working on correcting the works of the Persian poet and Sufi Abdul Qader Bidel, also known as Bidel Dehlavi.

He is reviewing and comparing 20 volumes of manuscripts of his Divan and several editions of his couplet collections to compile a completely revised book.
His book will contain all the differences in published versions as well as some newly found couplets written by the poet, he mentioned in a press release by the Fars News Agency.
Bidel’s Divan was previously published in Iran with corrections by Akbar Behdarvand.
Bidel Dehlavi (1642–1720) was a famous Persian poet and Sufi born in Azimabad (present day Patna, India). He mainly wrote ghazals and quatrains in Persian and is the author of 16 books of poetry, which contain nearly 147,000 verses and include several of Masnavi.
He is considered as one of the prominent poets of the Indian School of Poetry in Persian literature, and has his own unique style. His books include Telesm-e Hairat, Chahar Unsur and Ruqaat.
