. A poetry collection (''divan'') and the poem ''Talib and Zohre'' are the works that are left of him today. The fact that he read mathematics, geometry and philosophy in his poems reveals that he received a good education. He is also known to be a good calligrapher. Taleb played a crucial role in the rapid transformation of poetic style at the beginning of the 17th century. His work gave a free rein to the tendency toward conceptualism (Fantasy) in the “fresh style” (later known as the Indian Style) that had begun to emerge a generation earlier in the poetry of Naẓiri and ʿOrfi. At the same time, he gave a new vitality to conventional images and common idioms by exploring their full figurative implications, a procedure Taleb himself revealingly dubs his ''ṭarz-e esteʿāre'' (metaphorical style). Taleb entered Jahangir’s service about 1616 and was appointed to the post of poet laureate (Malek osh-Sho'ara) in 1619. His Ghazal poems are very similar to

Poem

ما به استقبال غم کشور به کشور می‌رویم چون ز پا محروم می‌مانیم با سر می‌رویم صد ره این ره رفته‌ایم و بار دیگر می‌رویم العطش‌گویان به استقبال ساغر می‌رویم چون به پا رفتن میسر نیست ما را سوی دوست نامه می‌گردیم و با بالِ کبوتر می‌رویم کنون کز مو به مویم اضطراب تازه می‌ریزد نسیمی گر وزد اوراقم از شیرازه می‌ریزد لب عیشم به هر عمری نوایی می‌زند اما زبان شیونم هردم هزار آوازه می‌ریزد دلی دارم که در آغوش مرهم زخم ناسورش نمک می‌گوید و خمیازه بر خمیازه می‌ریزد عجب گر نقشبندی‌های صبر ما درست آید که عشق این طرح بی‌پرگار، بی‌اندازه می‌ریزد
