Hamsa (English spelling) Khamsa
A long epic poem by the medieval Iranian poet Nizami. It is composed of five parts: the mystical poem Mahzanul Asrar (The Treasure of Secrets), the romantic epic Khosrow and Shirin, Layla and Majnun, Haft Paykal (The Seven Queens), and the heroic epic Iskandar Nameh (The Book of Alexander). The Hamsa was one of the most popular themes for ancient Iranian painters, and like Firdousi's Shahnameh, it was illustrated in great numbers.
