He was born in 893 century AH in Bafgh. This famous poet is one of the poets whose sonnets have become an inseparable part of the sweet Persian literature. Vahshi Bafqi was an isolated man and loved his own place more than anywhere else. He really loved romantic sonnets. He lived in a house of bricks and mud and recited from the bottom of heart:
It's the only real house in this alley and it is no place for crazy visitors. 
I have built this house with my own desire that is appropriate for its own residents.
He passed away in 961 A.H.S and was buried in Imam Khomeini Street against Shahzadeh Fazel's Shrine. At the time being, his tomb is destroyed though.
