Our Ismaili pirs have composed many ginans addressed to the Imam that are in a feminine voice.

Indeed. We would have liked to include such examples but we wanted to keep this article short and decided to limit it to material from Hakim Nāṣir-i Khusraw. But yes, one can find excellent parallels in the ginans where Pirs referred to themselves in the feminine compared to the Imam. Thank you for mentioning it. Are there any particular lines from a Ginan that stand out that you can share here?
