Book excerpt: ANTHOLOGY OF THE GAZEL IN TURKISH SUFI POETRY Translation & Introduction Paul Smith The gazel (ghazal) is perhaps the oldest and most difficult and most beautiful and spiritual form of poetry that has ever existed. Although the poets of the gazel may appear to many as open-minded, drunken, outcast lovers, it does not necessarily mean that they all drank the juice of the grape... for it is an inner spiritual state that they often were expressing. The gazel is a conversation between the lover and the beloved and as in all intimate conversation... the talk flows both ways. The subject may not necessary be about love, but it is always from the point of view of one who loves truth, love and beauty. CONTENTS: The Turkish Language...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LOVING THE ONE Anthology of Sufi & Folk Strophe Poems of Persia, Arabia & the Indian Sub-Continent Translation & Introduction Paul Smith A Persian tarji-band consists of a series of strophes each containing a variable but equal, or nearly equal, number of couplets all in one rhyme... these stanzas being separated from each other by a series of isolated rhyming couplets that mark the end of each strophe. If the same couplet (or refrain) is repeated at the end of each band, or strophe, the poem is a tarji-band, or 'return-tie'. The mukhammas consists of verses of five lines. In the first verse, all of the lines rhyme. In the verses that follow, the first four lines rhyme with each other and the last line rhymes with the rhymes of the first verse. A close inspection of this form shows that it is also as with the ghazal, a spiral, and probably originated from the ghazal. There are other forms in Persian poetry similar to it, with six (musaddes) and seven lines (musebba) in each verse. In some ways a mukhammas is like an extended form of the ghazal, but is a totally rhymed poem and doesn't have the ghazal's freedom, where one can be spontaneous because of the lack of rhyme in the first line of each couplet after the first. The kafi contains a radif or refrain that begins the poem and ends it and is repeated between the rhyming verses in-between and reminds one of the mukhammas. Kafis are common in Punjabi Sufi poetry. Kan Wa-Kan is an Arabic poem in which each stanza has four lines in which the fourth has the sam end rhyme. It became popular in the 13th century for giving spiritual advice. The correct rhyme-structure & meaning has been achieved in all poems. Biographies & Bibliographies of each poet. A Short History of the Strophe Poem: THE POETS: Farrukh, Rumi, 'Iraqi, Obeyd Zakani, Hafiz, Jahan Khatun, Shah Ni'matu'llah, Shah Shuja, 'Aishah al-Ba'uniyah, Bedil, Rahman Baba, Bulleh Shah, Hatef, Nazir Akbarabadi, Qa'ani, Tahirih, Iqbal, Parvin, Large Format Paperback 7" x 10" 451 pages.

Book excerpt: Anthology of Sufi & Folk Strophe Poems of Persia & the Indian Sub-Continent Translation & Introduction Paul Smith A Persian tarji-band consists of a series of stanzas or strophes each containing a variable but equal, or nearly equal, number of couplets all in one rhyme... as in the ghazal and qasida, these stanzas being separated from each other by a series of isolated rhyming couplets that mark the end of each strophe. If the same couplet (or refrain) is repeated at the end of each band, or strophe, the poem is a tarji-band, or 'return-tie'. If on the other hand the couplets concluding each band is different, each rhyming internally in a rhyme different from the preceding and succeeding bands, the poem is called a tarikh-band, or 'composite-tie'. The mukhammas consists of verses of five lines. In the first verse, all of the lines rhyme. In the verses that follow, the first four lines rhyme with each other and the last line rhymes with the rhymes of the first verse.

The kafi contains a radif or refrain that begins the poem and ends it and is repeated between the rhyming verses in-between (usually two to four) and reminds one of the mukhammas. Bulleh Shah's kafis are regarded as an integral part of the traditional repertoire of Qawwali, the musical genre which represents the devotional music of the Sufis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SABK-E HINDI THE 'INDIAN STYLE' IN PERSIAN POETRYAn Anthology from Amir Khusrau to GhalibTranslation & Introduction Paul SmithJan Rypka in his monumental History of Iranian Literature after talking of the first two styles of Persian poetry the 'Kuranasani' style then the 'Iraqian' style goes on to state: "A third style - the 'Indian' as it is called nowadays - was added to the first two from the time of Amir Khusrau Dihlavi. This was evoked both by time and by place, without however being thereby restricted within narrow limits. Rather can it be said that under the Safavids, thus much later it spread like an avalanche to Khurasan and Turkestan as well as Iraq..." He then says that one could call the Kuranasani style up to the 12th century 'realism'; the Iraqian style, 'naturalism' and from the mid 15th century the Indian style in full bloom as 'impressionism, symbolism and romanticism'. Hafiz so loved the ghazals of Amir Khusrau that he copied them (the manuscript still exists in a library in Tashkent). Hafiz was the greatest influence on all the poets that followed him especially the poets of the so called 'fresh' or 'Indian' style and especially Fighani & Urfi who also came from Shiraz. In his ghazals, Hafiz had expressed new ways of seeing the Creation and the inner realms of consciousness as symbols of God's Beauty... he described this in ghazals that were at first spiritually 'romantic', spiritually 'impressionistic' and then spiritually 'surrealistic' or 'symbolic'. CONTENTS: The 'Indian Style' (Sabk-e Hindi) in Persian Poetry, Various Forms in the 'Indian Style' of Persian Poetry, Sufism in Persian Poetry: THE POETS Amir Khusrau, Hasan Dehlavi, Hafiz, Jami, Fighani, Lisani, Vashi, Faizi, Urfi, Ulfati, Naziri, Zuhuri, Talib, Qudsi, Sa'ib, Kalim, Ghani Kashmiri, Vaaz Qazvini, Nasir Ali, Bedil, Ghalib. The correct poetic form & true meaning are in the translations of all of these beautiful & powerful and often spiritual poems.

Book excerpt: The Drunken Hāféz is a compilation of Fifty Ghazals, carefully selected from the celebrated Dīvān of Hãféz of Shiraz, translated word for word from the original Persian into English by Khashayar Bahar, along with an in-depth foreword thoroughly covering the major influences on the mind of the 14th century Shirazi poet. Sufi masters such as Hallaj, Ibn Arabi, Sohrevardi, Ferdowsi, Khayyam and Rumi are studied in detail to better understand the deeper inlaid meanings within the texture of the Hafez Ghazals, along with biographical and sociological references, contemporary to the Shirazi Master of Ghazals; bringing it all into a current perspective, translated into a Shakespearean medium, reflective of the original Persian Sufi language of chivalry, honor and all-inclusive love. Each Ghazal is accompanied by footnotes, that further explain the very words used by Hāféz in the original Farsi. The twenty eight illustrations are original paintings by Jena Ellen Greentree, reflective of Sufi motifs and Hāféz themes such as "the Chalice", "the Ghetto", "the Feast", "the Ceremony", "Foresight", "Magi Boy", "Rain dancers" and so forth. Amongst the many Hāféz translations available in the west, "The Drunken Hāféz" aspires to provide the reader with an honest, untainted, transparent and eloquent translation of the original Persian Ghazals. And as Hāféz was one of the first controversial and free-loving Persian poets of the Islamic Era, these translations seek not to hide his human side as often is the case with most other translations and editions; and are easy to understand and self-evident, without any personal inferences by the translator. As Hāféz loves everyone and is meant to be read by and for everyone, these translations offer the readers the real and untampered character of the original author of the Ghazals, his genuine persona, often hidden beneath the thick crust of Sufi dialectics and sophistry; either often seen through the decadent lens of the Mughals, or the orthodox view of Islamic scholars. The Drunken Hāféz seeks to introduce the all-loving and all too human Hāféz to the free-loving world; an easy Vessel to set sail on the enchanting waters of Persian Poetry, and a relishing Chalice of Celestial Wine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE GHAZAL IN ARABIC POETRY An Anthology Translation & Introduction Paul Smith Some scholars see the ghazal as coming from Arabic poetry, especially the prelude to longer poems, i.e. the qasida: they say that this prelude was isolated and changed, to eventually become the ghazal. The Arabic root of the word ghazal is gazl which means: spinning, spun, thread, twist... the form of the ghazal is a spiral. Hazrat Ali's ghazal in this volume seems to confirm that it was originally of Arabic creation. Whatever the origin, by the fifteenth century the ghazal had become a mature form of poetry. Introduction includes... Classical Arabic Poetry, The Ghazal in Arabic Poetry. Included with each selection of a particular poet is a biography plus a list of further reading. The correct rhyme-structure has been kept as well as the power and meaning of these beautiful, often mystical poems. THE POETS...
