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. Sadi composed in rhyming couplets or masnavi form a faqmous Pand-Nama or 'Book of Wisdom' in the style of 'Attar who was the first to do so. "Concise and elegant the work is most popular throughout the length and breadth of the Persian-speaking East. This may indeed well be the case, inasmuch as, in addition to beauty of diction, it is written in a metre which flows in easy cadence, and fixes the words of the poem on the mind. Hence the lines are committed to memory to an extent not surpassed by any work in the Persian language." Arthur N. Wollaston.

Book excerpt: Satire, irony and humour have long been features of Persian literature's rich tradition, taking various forms from the coarse and obscene to the subtle and refined. Humour in Iran is a close and comprehensive study of satire and humour in verse as well as prose over the eleven-hundred years since the emergence of classical Persian literature. Combining Persian original texts with their English translations, it covers a range of texts and authors, from the lampoon in Ferdowsi's great epic of the ancient kings in the tenth century, through such master satirists as Obeyd Zakani, Sa'di, Rumi, Khayyam, Hafiz, Anvari, Sana'i, Khaqani, Suzani, Qa'ani, Yaghma, and so on. The book also includes twentieth century authors such as Iraj, Dehkhoda, Bahar, Eshqi, Aref, Hedayat, Jamalzadeh, Al-e Ahmad and more. A must read for scholars and students of humour and satire as well as Persian literature and Middle Eastern studies, and it will also appeal to general readers interested in ribald humour and satire.

Book excerpt: DIVAN of 'ATTAR and ghazals by the Translator, Paul Smith Inspired by those of 'Attar... 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. He composed over forty books mainly in the epic masnavi form of rhyming couplets, his most famous being The Book of God and The Conference of the Birds. He also composed many powerful mystical poems in the ghazal form that influenced Sadi and Hafiz and all who came later and he was a master in the ruba'i form and couplets in his Pand-Nama or 'Book of Wisdom'. Here for the first time is a fine, large selection of his poems in the correct-rhyme structure with the beauty and meaning of many of his immortal poems. Included: Appendix 60 Ghazals by the Translator, Paul Smith, Inspired by those of 'Attar. Introduction: Life & Times of 'Attar and his Poetry and an essay on Sufi Poetry. Bibliography, Glossary. 402 pages. Large Format 7" x 10" paperback. COMMENTS ON PAUL SMITH'S TRANSLATION 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. I am astonished." Dr. Mir Mohammad Taghavi (Dr. of Literature) Tehran. "Superb translations. 99% Hafiz 1% Paul Smith." Ali Akbar Shapurzman, translator of works in English into Persian and knower of Hafiz's Divan off by heart. "Smith has probably put together the greatest collection of literary facts and history concerning Hafiz." Daniel Ladinsky (Penguin Books author). "I was very impressed with the beauty of these books." Dr. R.K. Barz. Faculty of Asian Studies, Australian National University. Paul Smith (b. 1945) is a poet, author and translator of many books of Sufi poets from the Persian, Arabic, Urdu, Turkish, Pashtu and other languages... including Hafiz, Sadi, Nizami, Rumi, 'Attar, Sana'i, Jahan Khatun, Obeyd Zakani, Mu'in, Amir Khusrau, Nesimi, Kabir, Anvari, Ansari, Jami, Omar Khayyam, Rudaki, Yunus Emre, Mahsati, Lalla Ded, Makhfi, Ghalib, Iqbal, Rahman Baba, Bedil, Baba Farid, 'Iraqi, Iqbal and many others, as well as his own poetry, fiction, plays, biographies, children's books, screenplays. amazon.com/author/smithpa

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GHAZALS INSPIRED BY THE GHAZALS OF SADI & HAFIZ Paul SmithAustralian poet and translator Paul Smith (b.1945) spent nearly 20 years translating into English in the correct form most the ghazals (spiritual love poems or mystical blues in a strict rhyming-structure, still popular today in India and the Middle-East) of two of the greatest Persian composers of this oldest of all forms of poetry ( it is said that Adam was the poet who invented it)... Sadi of Shiraz (1210-1291) and all of the ghazals of the greatest Master of the ghazal Hafiz of Shiraz (1320-1392). In the last few years he has added to the hundreds of his own ghazals composed since the early seventies by using his translations of the first couplets of Sadi and Hafiz as 'stepping-off inspirations' for his own ghazals, often, but not always, about or in praise of his own Spiritual Master Meher Baba (1894-1969) who also composed ghazals under the pen-name of 'Huma' that have been translated by the author. There are 300 original poems in this collection. The book contains an Introduction with the following chapters... About Paul Smith... 7; The Ghazal in Arabic, Persian, Turkish, Pashtu, Urdu, Punjabi, Sindhi, Kashmiri & English Poetry... 15; The Life & Times & Poems of Sadi... 55; Ghazals Inspired by Ghazals of Sadi... 71; The Life & Times & Poems of Hafiz... 159; Ghazals Inspired by Ghazals of Hafiz... 175: Appendix One: On 'Dervishes' Poem... 386; Appendix Two: The Life & Work of Meher Baba... 394.
