Schams-e Tabrizi , also Schemseddin Muhammed ( Persian شمس الدين محمد ابن على ابن ملك داد تبريزى, DMG Shams ad-Dīn Muḥammad ibn 'Alī ibn Malik Dād-i Tabrīzī ), was a Persian mystic of the 12th and 13th centuries. He was born in 1164 or 1185 as the son of the scholar Ali ibn Malik Dad in the Azerbaijani city ​​of Tabriz in Persia , which later gave him the addition of his name and means something like "The Sun of Tabriz". The lyrical collection of poems Rumis (1207–1273), the Diwan-e Schams-e Tabrizi , is named after him. He died in 1248 and his tomb is in Choi .

Other spellings of the name are English Shams-e Tabrizi , Shems-i Tebrizi , Shams al-Din Mohammed and Shemseddin Mohammed ibn Ali ibn Malik Dad and Turkish Şems-i Tebrizi . The Sufi mystic Shams-e Tabrizi is often confused with Shams ad-Din Muhammad († 1310) because Shams resided in Tabriz, Azerbaijani, for most of his life.
