Book excerpt: YUNUS EMREGhazals'I came from the eternal, clothed myself in flesh, took the name Yunus.'Translation & Introduction Paul SmithYunus Emre (d. 132o) is considered one of the most important Turkish poets having a great influence on Turkish literature from his own time until today. His poems concern divine love as well as human love of the Divine as God and the Perfect Master, Beloved, Friend and human destiny and weakness. Little is known of his life other than he became a Sufi dervish Perfect Master (Qutub). A contemporary of Rumi, it is told the two great souls met: Rumi asked Yunus what he thought of his huge work, the Mesnevi. Yunus said, "Excellent! But I would have done it differently." Surprised, Rumi asked how. Yunus replied, "I'd have written, 'I came from the eternal, clothed myself in flesh, took the name Yunus.'" This illustrates his simple approach that has made him loved by many. Here is the largest selection of his poems translated into English in the form of the ghazal that he often used. The rhyme-structure has been kept as well as the beauty and meaning of these insightful, mystical poems.

Although there is no distance, knowing ourselves is the longest and the hardest journey that we may ever experience. For we ourselves are the biggest puzzle to be solved. In the search for the kernel of yourself, surprisingly, in the very depths of your existence there you find God. And in the course of this journey, Love emerges which takes you beyond even yourself. So your life becomes a journey to the Beloved, the very Beloved within yourself. Yunus Emre, the sufi poet, having accomplished his own journey, tells us about this in his poems. Lets read. It is not just his story. He is indeed telling us about ourselves. This is our story.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GHAZALS of SADI Translation & Introduction Paul Smith Sadi (Saadi or Sa'di) of Shiraz (1210-1291), a contemporary of Rumi who influenced him, was a Sufi Perfect Master (Qutub) Poet who expressed himself in the ruba'i form as well as hundreds of ghazals in his beautiful Divan that often also contained images from dervish dancing. Sadi was a great traveller who spent forty years on the road throughout the Middle-East, North Africa and India and many of the incidents he experienced he wrote down in his two most famous works when he finally returned to his beloved birth-place... The Rose Garden (Gulistan) and The Orchard (Bustan). 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. Here for the first time in English they can be read in all their beauty and power and spirit. The correct rhyme-structure has been kept as well as the beauty and meaning of these unique mystical poems. All of the wonderful 603 ghazals from Sadi's Badayi and Tayyibat have been translated in clear, modern, meaningful English. Introduction: Life & Times & Poetry of Sadi of Shiraz and his influence on the East and the West and on the form and meaning of the ghazal. a Sufi Glossary and a large Selected Bibliography.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE GHAZAL IN ARABIC POETRY An Anthology Translation & Introduction Paul Smith Some scholars see the ghazal as coming from Arabic poetry, especially the prelude to longer poems, i.e. the qasida: they say that this prelude was isolated and changed, to eventually become the ghazal. The Arabic root of the word ghazal is gazl which means: spinning, spun, thread, twist... the form of the ghazal is a spiral. Hazrat Ali's ghazal in this volume seems to confirm that it was originally of Arabic creation. Whatever the origin, by the fifteenth century the ghazal had become a mature form of poetry. Introduction includes... Classical Arabic Poetry, The Ghazal in Arabic Poetry. Included with each selection of a particular poet is a biography plus a list of further reading. The correct rhyme-structure has been kept as well as the power and meaning of these beautiful, often mystical poems. THE POETS... Hazrat Ali, Rabi'a of Basra, Abu Nuwas, Dhu'l-Nun, Mansur al-Hallaj, Al-Ma'arri, Ibn al-Farid, Ibn 'Arabi, Aishah al-Ba'uniyah. Large Format Paperback 7" x 10" Pages 150.
