Simin Behbahani, her surname also appears as Bihbahani (née Siminbar Khalili;[1] Persian: سیمین بهبهانی; 20 July 1927 – 19 August 2014) was a prominent Iranian contemporary poet, lyricist and activist. She is known for her poems in a ghazal-style of poetic form. She was an icon of modern Persian poetry, Iranian intelligentsia and literati who affectionately refer to her as the lioness of Iran.[1][2] She was nominated twice for the Nobel Prize in literature, and "received many literary accolades around the world."[3]
