Tuḥfat al-ÿIrÃÂqayn ( âÂÂGift of the Two IraqsâÂÂ), also known as Khatm al-gharÃÂþib ( "Seal of Curiosity") is one of greatest works of the Persian poet Khaqani. After court intrigues, Khaqani set out on the Hajj to Mecca in 1156/57 CE, after which he composed this work. It consists of five parts and is essentially a description of the poet's travels. Its final version dates from 552/1157. Its name refers to the two traditional regions of Iraq, Upper Mesopotamia (al-Jazëra) and Lower Mesopotamia ("the Sawad)
Tuḥfat al-ÿIrÃÂqayn is the only masnavi (long poem in rhyming couplets) written by this poet.
