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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE WALLED GARDEN OF THE TRUTH Sana'i Translation and Introduction Paul Smith Hakim Sana'i (1050-1131) is best known for his classic mystical poetry in the forms of ghazals, ruba'is and masnavis. He is considered one of the finest and first poets in the Sufi tradition. Sana'i means 'insight'. The epithet 'hakim' ('wise one') was typically reserved for people of great learning. Sana'i was born in the city of Ghazna. Sana'i appears to have suddenly abandoned his career as a professional poet after making the acquaintance of a 'drinker of dregs' a God-intoxicated soul named Lai Khur, in about 1114. Later, mystical writing was popular among the ruling classes and the poet soon attracted the attention of the sultan, Bahramshah. Now old, Sana'i wrote the first major Sufi masnavi in the Persian language. Titled 'The Walled Garden of the Truth', the poem of 10,000 couplets contains mystical teachings intermingled with proverbs, fables, anecdotes and even obscene stories, in six volumes. This is the first volume. The uncommon manner in which Sana'i introduced and explained the esoteric teachings of Sufism through the medium of poetry was the key to its popularity and lasting value. It is still widely considered by scholars to be the first great mystical poem in Persian and the work had wide-reaching influence on Persian poetry influencing Nizami to compose 'Treasury of the Mysteries', 'Attar to compose his 'Book of God' and Rumi to compose his 6 volume 'Masnavi' and Sadi his 'Bustan'. Rumi said, " 'Attar is the soul and Sana'i the eyes and I came after them'." Introduction: Life & Times & Poetry of Sana'i; Sufis & Dervishes: Their Art & Use of Poetry; Forms in Persian Poetry Used by Sana'i; The Persian Masnavi before Sana'i; Four Great Masnavi Sufi Poets & their Poems that were influenced by Sana'is Poem; Selected Bibliography.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unparalleled exploration of Sufism as it is practised around the world, describing meetings with today's enlightened teachers as well as including wonderfully inspiring translations of the great Sufi masters of the past. Ultimately, this book acts as a guide to the Sufi path and offers wise insight into the meaning and purpose of life. A compelling view of Sufi history together with vivid personal remembrances of living mystics. This is an inspiring and at the same time beautifully subtle book, with light-filled insights on every page." – Saadi Shakur Chishti, author of The Sufi Book of Life The Sufi path described in this book leads the seeker past ordinary states of consciousness towards a new experience of infinitude that is the source of the universe. In this stage there is no duality or otherness, but instead infinitude, the Original Oneness, from which all dualities and attributes emanate. The book is at once an autobiography, a didactic treatise and a literary opus full of wonderful translations of the words of earlier Sufis, as well as the author's own poetry. It describes Shaykh Fadhlalla Haeri’s life quest to connect today’s world with classical times, especially through his meetings with enlightened Sufis all over the globe. Shaykh Fadhlalla Haeri also addresses profound Sufi teachings concerning the nature of humankind, the cosmos and God, using clear and simple language to address difficult doctrinal issues as only a master who has digested fully such knowledge could do. The book also reveals much about the present-day Islamic world where, despite the tragedies that are to be seen everywhere, tradition and spirituality survive. This is a metaphysical and spiritual guide to the Sufi path that ultimately offers insight into the meaning and purpose of life.

Book excerpt: SIX IMPORTANT LONG SUFI TEACHING POEMS The Walled Garden of the Truth, Treasury of Mysteries, The Masnavi, Pand-Nama (Book of Wisdom) Rose Garden of Mystery & Book of Ecstasy Sana'i, Nizami, Rumi, Sadi, Shabistari & 'Arifi Translation & Introduction Paul Smith The Walled Garden of the Truth of Sana'i is a poem of mystical teachings intermingled with proverbs, fables, anecdotes and even obscene stories. The uncommon manner in which Sana'i introduced and explained the esoteric teachings of Sufism through the medium of poetry was the key to its popularity and lasting value. It is still widely considered by scholars to be the first great mystical poem in Persian. Treasury of the Mysteries is one most beautiful mystic poem in the Persian language. Every line of his Treasury of the Mysteries is a living witness to his absolute certainty that piety, devotion, humility and self-forgetfulness are the corner stones of total annihilation, which in turn is necessary for unification with God and the foundation of the edifice of eternal life. The Masnavi of Rumi is a 6 volume teaching Sufi Poem in the form of the masnavi & it is considerd the greatest masterpiece in this form. Here are translated the opening stories in the correct form. Sadi composed a Sufi teaching poem in masnavi form... Pand-Nama (The Book of Wisdom) and these short sayings are as wise and as relevant today as they were back then. Rose Garden of Mystery was composed as a 1000 couplet long masnavi poem in the form of questions and answers on spiritual matters by Mahmud Shabistari of Tabriz in 1317. It has been regarded as one of the finest books on Sufism. Written by 'Arifi (1389 - 1449) the Hal-nama or Book of Ecstasy often referred to as 'The Ball & Polo-stick' is an allegory in which the ball and the polo-stick are personified as types of Sufi mystical love and all the images are from the game of polo or as it was known at the time in Persia as chaugan. The correct form of the masnavi has been kept in all poems but one and each has an informative Introduction on the poet's life and times and poetry. Chapter on Sufis & Dervishes: Their Art and Use of Poetry, Glossary. Bibliographies. Large format paperback 7" x 10" Pages 801. Paul Smith is a poet, author and translator of many 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, Nesimi, Kabir, Anvari, Ansari, Jami, Khayyam, Rudaki, Yunus Emre, Iqbal, Ghalib, Seemab, Jigar, Mahsati, Zauq, Faizi, Lalla Ded and many others, as well as his own poetry, fiction, plays, biographies, children's books and a dozen screenplays. amazon.com/author/smithpa
