Anwar Shirazi

Ebrahim Khan Zand Anwar Shirazi (Persian: ابراهیم‌خان زند; 1768–1801) was an Iranian Zand prince and poet. He was the youngest son of Karim Khan Zand (r. 1751–1779). After his father's death and the internal conflict amongst the Zand family members that swarmed quickly after, he was blinded by Alimorad Khan Zand at 11 years old. After the conquest of the Zand dynasty by the Qajars, Agha Mohammad Khan had him sent from Shiraz to Sari, but during the time of Fath-Ali Shah Qajar he went to the Ottoman Empire (Baghdad province) to visit the holy Shia shrines. He then settled in Nahavand until his death in 1801.^[1]
