Chahār ḥarf-i abjad: adabīyāt–Bakhtiyārī va Chahār Maḥāl–jargah-i ḥayāt (muḥīṭ-i zīst)–daryāb Khudāyā

Chahār ḥarf-i abjad by Muḥammad ʻAlī Imāmī Nāʼīnī brings together prose and poetry arranged around four themes: literature, Bakhtiyārī and Chahār Maḥāl, the environment, and prayer. In his preface, the author presents the collection as a gathering of writings left unpublished over earlier years. The literary section addresses Persian, poetic expression, love and personal reflection. The regional section turns to the history, education and culture of Chahār Maḥāl va Bakhtiyārī, including local poets, music and customs. Environmental pieces consider water, drought, trees, threatened landscapes and responsibilities towards future generations. The final section includes pilgrimage, praise, supplication and reflections on creation. Poems by other writers and a contribution by Muḥammad Riz̤ā Jalālī Nāʼīnī sit alongside the author’s own work. The collection connects literary remembrance and regional attachment with concern for the natural world and religious reflection.
