Farid al-din 'Attar is seen with Sana'i and Rumi (who he met and influenced) as one of the three most important Sufi Poet-Masters of the 13th century.

'Attar's powerful, honest and controversial ghazals remain as fresh today as they always were. With 'Attar the image of the 'rend'... the drunken debauchee, the thief of love, the carefree outsider, the honest scallywag, appears as the poet, the lover... the voice of the ghazal. The way of the malamati, or the path of 'no blame' has now stepped onto the stage of the play of the history of the ghazal and the story of the lover and beloved, the wine and the intoxicated, the Master and the devotee... will never be the same again!

Book excerpt: BELOVED & LOVER Ghazals by Paul Smith... inspired by Meher Baba From the 1920's into the late sixties the great Indian God-Realized Spiritual Master Meher Baba (1894-1969), who composed unique ghazals under the pen-name of Huma, occasionally gave to his disciples who were also poets the first couplet or line of ghazals he wished them to compose. Now after 40 years his disciple and poet from the mid-sixties, Paul Smith, carries on the tradition and completes the task of over 300 poems with love and dedication and the experience of writing hundreds of his own (the first in English) and translating for over 40 years those of Huma, Hafiz, Sadi, Nesimi, 'Attar and many others. Included are biographies of both poets and an article on Form, Function and History of the oldest, most mysterious, most beautiful poetic form... the still popular ghazal. Pages 410.

He also composed ghazals that influenced Sadi and Hafiz and all who came later. 'Attar's powerful, honest and controversial ghazals remain as fresh today as they always were. Here is a large selection of all three poets in the correct-rhyme structure with the beauty and meaning of these immortal poems. Introduction on his Life & Times and Poetry.

NIZAMI (d. 1208) is a true Sufi Master Poet who is most famous for his six books in masnavi form: The Treasury of Mysteries, Layla and Majnun, Khrosrau and Shirin, The Seven Portraits and his two books on Alexander.

The influence of his ghazals on those of 'Attar, Rumi, Sadi, Hafiz and Jami and all others that followed was profound. Here is also a good selection from his other masterpiece masnavis, ruba'is and a qasida in the long Introduction on the life and Times .'ATTAR is seen with Sana'i and Rumi (who he met and influenced) as one of the three most important Sufi Poet-Masters of the 13th century.

Book excerpt: THE EIGHT GREATEST SUFI MASTER-POETS OF THE GHAZALSana'i, 'Attar, Khaqani, Mu'in, Rumi, Sadi, Hafiz, JamiSELECTED POEMSTranslation and Introduction by Paul SmithThe ghazal is the oldest and most difficult and most beautiful and spiritual form of poetry that has ever existed. It is a conversation between the lover and beloved and as in all intimate conversation, the talk flows both ways. Sana'i (d.1131) composed many that influenced all the ghazal poets that followed him. 'Attar (1119 - 1221) is seen with Sana'i and Rumi as one of the three most important Sufi Poet-Masters of the 13th century. He composed many poems in the ghazal form. Khaqani (1122-1199) was the second great Sufi Master of the powerful, spiritual ghazal. Mu'in (1141-1230) was known as Gharib Nawaz or 'Benefactor of the Poor'... he is the most famous Sufi Perfect Master of the Chishti Order. He composed a Divan and 121 wonderful ghazals survive. Rumi (1207-1273) has a Divan which he named after his Master, Shams-e Tabriz includes thousands of spiritual ghazals. Sadi (1210-1291) was another Perfect Master Poet who expressed himself in the ruba'i form as well as hundreds of ghazals in his beautiful Divan. Hafiz (1320-1392) is the undisputed Master of this most ancient poetic form. Jami (1414-1492) is the last great poet of the Persian Classical Period (9th-15th c.) He says:'The largest part of my Divan is ghazals... like songs mad lovers sing. Introduction: Sufis & Dervishes: Their Art and Use of Poetry, Lives and Times and Poetry of each poet and a chapter on the ghazal. Glossary, Selected Bibliographies.

Published by New Humanity Books/Book HeavenSadi of Shiraz (1210-1291), a contemporary of Rumi who influenced him, was another Perfect Master Poet who expressed himself in the ruba'i form as well as hundreds of ghazals in his beautiful Divan that often also contained images from dervish dancing. Sadi was a great traveller who spent forty years on the road throughout the Middle-East, North Africa and India and many of the incidents he experienced he wrote down in his two most famous works when he finally returned to his beloved birth-place… The Rose Garden (Gulistan) and The Orchard (Bustan). Sadi's mystical love poetry, his ghazals, although almost unknown in the West, are loved by his fellow-countrymen almost as much as those of Hafiz whom he greatly influenced. Here for the first time in English they can be read in all their beauty and power and spirit. The correct rhyme-structure has been kept as well as the beauty and meaning of these beautiful, mystical poems. ALL of the wonderful 603 ghazals from Sadi's Badayi and Tayyibat have been translated in clear, modern, meaningful, correct-rhyming English. Introduction on The Life of Sadi, his Poetry and his influence on the East and the West and on the form and meaning of the ghazal. 421 pages.COMMENTS ON PAUL SMITH'S TRANSLATION OF HAFIZ'S 'DIVAN'.“It is not a joke... the English version of ALL the ghazals of Hafiz is a great feat and of paramount importance.
