Adib Sabir
Shihabuddin Sharaful-udaba Sabir (Persian: شهابالدین شرفالادبا صابر) known as Adib Sabir (ادیب صابر), was a 12th-century Persian[1] poet. Originating from Termedh, he was employed in the court of Sultan Sanjar.
He is said to have also been used by the Sultan as a spy against the Sultan's enemies, who eventually drowned him in the Oxus in 1143 AD.
His Persian poetry writings are fluent and refined in style.[citation needed]

Contemporary Persian and Classical Persian are the same language, but writers since 1900 are classified as contemporary. At one time, Persian was a common cultural language of much of the non-Arabic Islamic world. Today it is the official language of Iran, Tajikistan and one of the two official languages of Afghanistan.
