== Biography == Habibollah Shirazi was born on 20 October 1808 in Shiraz, where he attended elementary school. His father, Mirza Mohammad Ali, was a minor poet who wrote under the pen name Golshan. He lost his father at the age of eleven, after which he enjoyed the patronage of Hasan Ali Mirza Shuja' al-Saltana, the governor of Shiraz, who gave him the pen name Qaani. At an early age, Qaani went to Mashhad for further study. He wrote a poem to praise Fath Ali Shah Qajar during the former's visit to Tehran, and called him "Mojtahed of the Poets".
