        One of the poets belonging to the Indian School of Persian poetry in the 17th and 18th centuries is Molla Mohammad Amin Darki-ye qomi. Biographers have reported on him as a poet with lots of verses including some 20 to 30 thousand couplets. A manuscript copy of his Divan is kept with Malek National Library, registered under No. 5146. The present study, as a descriptive-analytical research, was conducted following a correction of the poet's Divan and dealt with introducing and reviewing the said-above manuscript. The findings indicate that the manuscript in question included some 6300 couplets of Darki-ye qomi's Divan in such poetic forms as Qasideh(ode), Qet'eh(fragment), Ghazal(sonnet), Masnavi(couplet-poem), Tarji'band and Tarkibband(refrain). Darki has versified admirations of great figures and religious personalities into Qasidehs, chronograms into Qet'ehs, lyric themes into Ghazals, and Saghinameh into Tarji'bands. He was a creative poet in terms of imagination and theme generation with a moderate and fluent style. A typical characteristic of Darki-ye qomi's poems is the repetition of rhymes and a high probability of employing radifs. Manuscript profile
