Book excerpt: A YEAR WITH NIZAMI, KHAYYAM & 'IRAQI 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.

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. 381 pages.

Book excerpt: LAYLA AND MAJNUN: NIZAMI Translation & Introduction by Paul Smith It is impossible to underestimate the effect of Nizami's 'Layla and Majnun' on the world over the past 800 years. Many poets throughout this period have copied or been influenced by his story of the young lovers. Many Master-Poets besides Ibn Arabi, 'Attar, Rumi, Sadi, Hafiz and Jami have quoted from him or like him have used the story of the desperate lovers to illustrate how human love can be transformed into divine love through separation and longing. It is said that no one has painted a more perfect picture of women in Persian Literature than Nizami. Paul Smith has kept to the correct rhyme-structure of this long masnavi epic poem, while retaining the beauty of the poetry, the mystical meaning and simplicity of the form. He has included a long Introduction on his life and chapters on all of the works of this great Master/Poet. Selected Bibliography. Large format paperback... 7" x 10" 239 pages. COMMENTS ON PAUL SMITH'S TRANSLATION OF HAFEZ'S 'DIVAN'. "It is not a joke... English version of all the ghazals of Hafez is a great feat of paramount importance. I am astonished. If he comes to Iran I will kiss the fingertips that wrote such a masterpiece inspired by the Creator of all. " Dr. Mir Mohammad Taghavi (Dr. of Literature) Tehran.

Daniel Ladinsky (Penguin Books author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE ULTIMATE LAYLA & MAJNUN: Complete Poems of Majnun (Qays Ibn al-Mulawwah) Nizami's Layla & Majnun & Layla & Majnun... A Screenplay Translation & Introduction Paul Smith. Majnun was a real person! Qays (Majnun='madman') was a youth, a Bedouin poet in the seventh century of the Bani Amir tribe in the Najd desert in Arabia. He fell in love with Layla from the same tribe whom he was denied. (It is said that Shakespeare was inspired by their tale for Romeo & Juliet from their tragic love story). His poetry was composed before and some after his descent into love-madness (mast). Here, in the form of the qit'as in which they were composed, is the largest collection of his immortal poems translated into English. Nizami's famous telling of their tale came from these poems and other sources. It is impossible to underestimate the effect of Nizami's 'Layla and Majnun' on the world over the past 800 years. Many poets throughout this period have copied or been influenced by his story of the young lovers. Many Master-Poets besides Ibn Arabi, 'Attar, Rumi, Sadi, Hafiz and Jami have quoted from him or like him have used the story of the desperate lovers to illustrate how human love can be transformed into divine love through separation and longing. It is said that no one has painted a more perfect picture of women in Persian Literature than Nizami. The correct rhyme-structure of this long masnavi epic poem is here while retaining the beauty of the poetry, mystical meaning and simplicity of the form. 'Layla & Majnun' A Screenplay based on Nizami's version is included here. Large Print (14pt) & Large Format Edition ( 7" x 10") Pages 414 Comments on Paul Smith's Translation of Hafiz's 'Divan'.
