In addition to his poetic legacy, Baba Tahir's philosophical treatise, "Brief Aphorisms", has survived to this day. Numerous commentaries have been written on this 23-chapter treatise, containing 368 aphorisms on science, good manners, inspiration and skill, intelligence and morals, the real and otherworldly worlds, and so on. Undoubtedly, the author of such a work could have been someone knowledgeable and deeply versed in the theoretical foundations of Sufism. Baba Tahir lived and wrote during an era when mystical ideology had become firmly ingrained in Persian poetry. The influence of Sufism on the work of a poet who exuded the poetic atmosphere of his time was inevitable. Sufi poets, who extolled the mystical love of Allah – "the one and eternal" – widely turned to the genres of dubeiti and rubai to disseminate their ideas, which were well received by the people. Sufism, which increasingly permeated lyric poetry, possessed a system of specific images, expressions, and epithets. Therefore, both aspiring poets and even masters wishing to create works in a secular spirit were forced to utilize certain elements of these elements. While it is difficult to find motifs far removed from Sufism in the works of Baba Kuhi, Khajeh Abdullah Ansari, and others, it is not difficult to discern in Baba Tahir's poetry an attachment to the world, motifs of a love of life, and sentiments far removed from mysticism. The dubaits present two poets, as it were. One is a young poet deeply attached to life, his heart overflowing with passionate desires; the other is a sage who has already seen all the twists and turns of life, sometimes resentful and pessimistic. Two conclusions can be drawn here: the first is that mysticism entered Baba Tahir's poetry only in his mature years. The second approach and assessment is that the people, in accordance with traditions close to their spirit and style, made the poet's sublime dubeyti more understandable, bringing divinity closer to the mundane. One of the interesting features of Baba Tahir's philosophy is the social issues raised in his poems, the motifs of complaint against social inequality and the spirit of rebellion.
