Book excerpt: GHAZALS (Sufi Mystical Love Poems) of NIZAMI & 'ATTAR Translation & Introduction Paul Smith. 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. He also composed a Divan of approximately 22,000 couplets mostly in ghazals, tragically only 205 ghazals remain and all are here translated. 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. He composed over forty books mainly in the epic masnavi form, his most famous being The Book of God and The Conference of the Birds. He also composed many powerful mystical /love poems in the ghazal form 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. 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. Here is by far the largest translation of his ghazals in English in the correct-rhyme structure with the beauty and meaning and all by his translator inspired by their first couplets. Introduction: Life & Times and Poetry of each poet and essay on the Ghazal. Selected Bibliographies, Glossary. Large Print (14pt) & Large Format Paperback (7" x 10"). 420 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. I am astonished." Dr. Mir Mohammad Taghavi (Dr. of Literature) Tehran. "Superb translations. 99% Hafiz 1% Paul Smith." Ali Akbar Shapurzman, translator of many mystical 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.

Book excerpt: COMPLETE GHAZALS (Sufi love-poems) of NIZAMI & 'ATTAR Translation & Introduction Paul Smith. Nizami and 'Attar who were born around the same time are seen as two of the most important Sufi Poet-Masters of the 12th century. They composed many powerful mystical poems in the ghazal form that influenced Sadi & Hafiz (the recognized later Masters of the form) and all who came later. 'Attar & Sadi's powerful, honest and controversial ghazals remain as fresh and as relevant today as they always were.

Here for the first time are all their ghazals/poems that have survived (only 210 of Nizami's over 4000... all here translated) in the correct-rhyme structure with the beauty and meaning of these immortal poems. Introduction on their Lives & Times and Poetry and an essay on the Ghazal. Selected Bibliographies, Notes, Glossary. Large Format (7"x 10") 732 pages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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. The correct rhyme-structure has been kept, often for the first time, as well as the beauty and meaning of these powerful, spiritual, beautiful, immortal ghazals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NIZAMI, KHAYYAM & 'IRAQI A Daybook Translation & Introduction by Paul Smith Here is a unique Daybook of 366 poems by three of Persia's greatest mystical & philosophical poets. Nizami was a true Master Poet who is most famous for his six books in masnavi form: The Treasury of the Mysteries, Khrosrau and Shirin, Layla and Majnun, The Seven Portraits (another Sufi classic) and his two books on Alexander. He also composed a Divan of approximately 20, ooo couplets in ghazals and ruba'is and other forms... tragically only 200 couplets survive. His influence on 'Attar, Rumi, Sadi, Hafiz and Jami and all others that followed cannot be overestimated. Omar Khayyam was more famous in Iran as an astronomer, philosopher and mathematician... the nihilistic and hedonistic and occasionally Sufi philosophy in his ruba'is meant that his poems were never really popular in his homeland, but of course after the work of FitzGerald the west fell in love with him. He stated, "The only group which may reach God with purification of soul and renunciation of sensual preoccupations, with yearning and ecstasy, are the Sufis." 'Iraqi was the author of a Divan of spiritual ghazals and ruba'is and other poems and of the famous work in prose and poetry Lama'at, 'Divine Flashes'... a work that beautifully describes the mysteries of Divine Union that became a classic of Sufi Mysticism. The correct rhyme structure has been kept. 380 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. I am astonished." Dr. Mir Mohammad Taghavi (Dr. of Literature) Tehran. "Superb translations. 99% Hafiz 1% Paul Smith." Ali Akbar Shapurzman, translator and knower of Hafiz's Divan off by heart. Paul Smith is a poet, author and translator of over 80 books of Sufi poets of 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, Khayyam, Rudaki and others, and his own poetry, fiction, plays, biographies, children's books and a dozen screenplays.
