Abstract
Rabia Khuzdari bint-e-Ka’ab was the first poetess of the
Persian language. She also did poetry in the Baluchi and Arabic
languages. She was born in 7 C.E. in Khuzdar. Her father was a
rich man of the area. One of the renowned Iranian poets, Rodhki
Samarkandi (b. 941 C.E) although recognizes Rabia as the greatest
poetess of the world, he was also jealous of her. This was
evidenced when Rodhki complained of her romance with her own
slave, Baktash, in the royal court of Kandhar. Hearing this, her
brother, Haris, got enraged and killed her. Other Iranian poets,
such as, Attar Nishapuri, and Abd-ur-Rehman Jami, have also
praised her poetry. In her poetry, she used the pseudonym of
“Mags Roen”. Unfortunately, most of her poetry has been wasted,
except with few Persian verses.
