    Diwan (Arabic: دیوان ), also transliterated as Deewan or Divan, is a term for a collection of poems of a single author; it may be a 'selected works', or the whole body of work of an Urdu, Persian or Ottoman Turkish poet. Thus Diwan-e-Mir, and so on. It is also worth mentioning that the most famous work with this word as its title is actually the fictional collection of poetry called Diwan-e Shams-e Tabriz-i by Rumi, ostensibly by Shams Tabrizi.
    The introduction of the term is attributed to Rudaki.

    It has also been applied in a similar way to collections of Hebrew poetry and to poetry of al-Andalus
