Although he was a 20th century poet, his poems were fairly traditional and were sometimes nationalistic.

Childhood

He was born in Mashhad on 8th of December 1886 A.D. His father was Kazem Saboory, a very famous and important poet, who had the court title of Malak al-Shu'ara. He began his learning when he was three. Very soon he memorized a good portion of the Qur'an and was literate in Farsi. He began composing poems at fourteen. Upon his father's death, he inherited his father's title.

Middle and Late Years

For a time he was elected to the National Consultative Assembly (Parliament) until in 1917 when he abstained from politics and began to teach literature at Tehran University. He was known to have introduced Western literature to Iran through the Daneshkadeh which published the Daneshkadeh magazine. He traveled to Europe for therapy and lived in Lezen, Switzerland where he died on April 21, 1951.
