Molana Malek Deylami (1518 – 1562) was a Persian scrivener and calligrapher in the 16th century.
[2] Deylami's first teacher was his father, Shohreh Amir, who taught him Thuluth and Naskh.
[3] Later, when Rostam Ali Khorassani and Hafez Baba Jan went to Qazvin, he learnt Nastaliq from them.
He was not an ambitious man and, for that reason, was a favorite of Tahmasp I. Mirza married the Shah's daughter, Gohar Solatn, in 1556.
Mirza took Molana Malek as the painting teacher and curator of his library to Mashhad, but after 3 or 4 years he was called back to Qazvin by Tahmasp I for writing and inscription on the new royal building; this was no later than 1561.
