Jami composed a ruba'i where he names him, along with Firdausi and Sadi as one of the 'three apostles' of Persian poetry. He was also a celebrated astronomer, mathematician and scientist who gave them up for the more lucrative occupation of… a court poet, that he rejected twenty years before his death for a life of contemplation. He is renowned for his delightful wittiness that can be found in many of his ruba'is and qit'as and ghazals. He is known for his sense of humour and sometimes obscenity. He created a new kind of poetry by using the conversational language of his time.
