Book excerpt: NAZIR AKBARABADI: SELECTED POEMS (Large Print & Large Format Edition) Translation and Introduction Paul Smith. Nazir Akbarabadi (1735-1830) is an Indian poet known as the 'Father of Nazm', who wrote mainly Urdu ghazals and nazms. It is said that Nazir's poetic treasure consisted of about 200,000 couplets but only 6000 remain. The canvas of Nazir's nazms is so vast that it encompasses all aspects of human behaviour and every person can find nazms that can suit his taste. Many of his poems are about daily life and observations of things such as training a young bear or the pleasures of the rainy season, how beauty can fade, the lives of old prostitutes, etc. His poems are loved by ordinary folk today. Many of his poems are spiritual and he is seen as a true Sufi. Bankey Behari: 'He saw the Lord everywhere. His meditations led him to the realization of the Forms of the Lord as well as the Formless Divinity. He sings of Shri Krishna with the greatest fervour as of Hazrat Ali and the Prophet Mohammed, and turns his face if he comes across the pseudo-saints and religious preceptors who are wanting in realization and yet profess it. By far he is best in portraying the heat of his yearning for his vision.' This is by far the largest translation of his poetry into English, with the correct form & meaning. Introduction on his Life, Times & Poetry and on the poetic forms he used. Selected Bibliography. Large Print (16pt) & Large Format (8" x 10") Paperback 404 pages.

He composed a remarkable Urdu translation in rhyming poetry of the Quran. He also translated into Urdu the Masnavi of Rumi, a massive task. His ghazals are suffused with true Sufism. The Perfect Spiritual Master, Meher Baba while listening to the singing of a ghazal of Seemab was so impressed by a particular couplet that he stopped the singer and declared that because of it he had bestowed on Seemab the ultimate gift of liberation or God-realization. The first poem in this collection is that ghazal. This is the largest translation of their poetry into English, with the correct form & meaning.

Book excerpt: KHWAJA MIR DARD A Great Urdu Sufi Poet Selected Poems Translation & Introduction Paul Smith Khwaja Mir Dard (1720-1784) is considered one of the three great poets of the Delhi school of classical Urdu poetry. He is firstly a Sufi poet who saw the physical world as a veil of the Divine Reality and this world a pathway. As a Sufi... he was respected by royalty, nobility and the poor. It was his father Khwaja Mohd Nasir Andlib, a Sufi saint and poet, who was the greatest influence on him. Dard was a great lover of mystical music both vocal and instrumental and he held soirees of music and mastered the art to perfection. At 28 he renounced earthly pleasures for a life of piety and humility. He taught one should happily submit to the will of God. He was able to successfully transmit his mystical philosophy into his poetry and his ghazals can be, like Hafiz's, read in both a mystical and secular way. His Divans of ruba'is, ghazals and other forms are in Urdu and Persian, and he wrote articles on Sufism. The correct rhyme structure has been achieved in all the different forms here translated. Introduction on his Life, Poetry & Times; Forms of Poetry; Sufism in Poetry; Six Urdu Poets (Wali, Sauda, Mir, Nazir, Zafar, Aatish) in Dard's that influenced him or he influenced, with their biographies, bibliographies and good selections of their Sufi poems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diwan of Ibn 'Arabi Translation & Introduction Paul Smith In the West he is known as the Doctor Maximus and in the Islamic world as The Great Master. Born in Murcia in Spain in 1165 his family moved to Seville. At thirty-five he left for Mecca where he completed his most influential book of poems The Interpreter of Ardent Desires (Tarjuman al-Ashwaq) and began writing his masterpiece, the vast Meccan Revelations. In 1204 he began further travels. In 1223 he settled in Damascus where he lived the last seventeen years of his life, dying in 1240. His tomb there is still an important place of pilgrimage. A prolific writer, Ibn 'Arabi is generally known as the prime exponent of the idea later known as the 'Unity of Being'. His emphasis was on the true potential of the human being and the path to realizing that potential and becoming the Perfect or complete person. Hundreds of works are attributed to him including a large Divan of poems most of which have yet to be translated.

Book excerpt: THE FOUR LAST GREAT SUFI MASTER POETS Shah Latif, Nazir Akbarabadi, Ghalib,& Iqbal ***SELECTED POEMS*** Translation & Introduction Paul Smith The great Sufi Master Poets of the Final Age (18th - 20th century) were also straightforward and inspiring in the poetic forms of the ghazal, ruba'i, qasida and masnavi and others in expressing their love for the Divine Beloved and in their contempt for this world and its illusions and explaining the spiritual path. Here are many beautiful, powerful poems by them in the correct form and meaning and biographies about them. Shah Abdul Latif (1689-1752) was a Sufi Perfect Master and is considered by many to be the greatest poet of the Sindhi language. He composed dohas extending the form to five or six couplets. Nazir Akbarabadi (1735-1830) is an Indian poet known as the 'Father of Nazm', who wrote mainly Urdu ghazals and nazms. His poems are still loved. Many are spiritual and he is seen as a true Sufi. Ghalib (1797-1869), was born in the city of Agra. He is more famous today and wrote ghazals, qit'as and ruba'is in Persian that are mainly Sufi poems but he is more known now for those composed in Urdu. Iqbal (1873-1938) was born in Sialkot, Punjab. He turned to Islam and Sufism for inspiration when early in his life he rejected nationalism. In his final years he returned to Urdu from Persian with ghazals inspired by his Sufism.

Book excerpt: NAZIR AKBARABADI: LIFE & POEMS Translation and Introduction Paul Smith Nazir Akbarabadi (1735-1830) is an Indian poet known as the 'Father of Nazm', who wrote mainly Urdu ghazals and nazms. It is said that Nazir's poetic treasure consisted of about 200,000 couplets. His poems are loved by ordinary folk today. Many of his poems are spiritual and he is seen as a true Sufi. Bankey Behari: 'He saw the Lord everywhere. His meditations led him to the realization of the Forms of the Lord as well as the Formless Divinity. He sings of Shri Krishna with the greatest fervour as of Hazrat Ali and the Prophet Mohammed, and turns his face if he comes across the pseudo-saints and religious preceptors who are wanting in realization and yet profess it. By far he is best in portraying the heat of his yearning for his vision.' The translations have the correct form & meaning. Introduction on his Life, Times & Poetry and on the poetic forms he used.
