Book excerpt: FIVE FAMOUS ALLEGORIES IN SUFI POETRY Conference of the Birds; Secrets of Birds, Flowers, Nature, Animals & Insects; Cat & Mouse; The Fish; The Spider. Translations & Introductions by Paul Smith Farid al-din 'Attar (d. 1221) was a grear Sufi poet who composed over 5o books. His most loved, apart from his ghazals is 'The Conference of the Birds' in masnavi (rhyming couplets) form (translated here by Edward FitzGerald) that would influence all the following poets in their writing of Sufi philosophy in the way of allegories, using Nature. Azz-eddin al-Muqaddasi (d. 1280) is famous for one book, his 'Secret of Birds, Flowers' etc. in prose and poetry. "It has been said, perhaps with truth, that there is no document of such age to touch this one for a combination of mystical insight and understanding of human psychology." K. Winstone-Hamilton. Mouse & Cat by Obeyd Zakani is a satirical, epic allegory that was influential at the time it was composed (14th c.) and has remained so for the past 600 years. It is more than just a story for children (that some say brought about the cartoon of Tom & Jerry)... it is a story of the stupidity of the false power of those in power and a warning to all that such blind ambition always leads to destruction at the hands of one even more powerful. Sufi poet Shah Da'i (1406-1464) takes his clue from 'Attar and tells the marvellous allegory of the fish who go in search of an answer to their problem from the Ancient Wise Fish. Iran's recent great female poet Parvin Etesami (1907-1941) tells the simple but deep allegory of the lazy man and the hard-working spider in such a clever and engrossing way that her reason for telling it is subtle but truly enlightening. The correct rhymes and hpefully, the meanings are achieved. ILLUSTRATED. Large Format Paperback 7" x 10" 460 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. Paul Smith (b.1945) is an Australian 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, Mu'in, Amir Khusrau, Nesimi, Kabir, Anvari, Ansari, Jami, Omar, Seemab and others and his poetry, fiction, plays, biographies, children's books and screenplays.

This book was released on 2018-01-22 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Secret of Birds, Flowers, Nature, Animals & Insects A Sufi Allegory in Prose & Poetry by Azz-eddin al-Muqaddasi Translation & Introduction Paul Smith From the Introduction on the Life of the Author, form of the Qit'a and on Sufi Poetry: There is little to say about the author of these allegories as very little is known about him. His real name is unknown because Azz-eddin is a nickname and al-Muqaddasi means of Jerusalem, in that Azz-eddin was native of that town or territory, or sometime lived there. It is said that Azz-eddin was an Imam (religious leader) and he was erudite and eloquent in Arabic and he imitated the style of Ibn al-Giouzi (historian) and listened to him with much pleasure. It is said that he perished one day near the Kaaba, in the presence of a crowd of the great and learned and he fulfilled his obligation of pilgrimage perfectly and many took an exact copy of his speech, and his death was on Wednesday February the 12th, 1280, caused by a fall from a high place in Mecca. In addition to the allegories here published, Azz-eddin al-Mucaddasi is known for other highly respected works which are all mystical (Sufi) but have not come down to us. It is obvious he was influenced by 'The Conference of the Birds' (see appendix) by 'Attar who died about 60 years before he did. These short poems (qita's) translated in the correct form for the first time, coming after the speech in prose of the flower, bird, natural occurance, herb, animal or insect appear as a continuation or the essence of the prose. The judgment of the work of Azz-eddin has been mostly favorable; but if one leaves oneself to the Middle-Eastern taste, what seems to be defects will soon become real beauties and that what seems odd, are games of the mind. However, in judging this work according to Western taste, it can't be denied the allegories are easy, yet deep and elegant, with no lack of real Sufi knowledge and experience of the Path through various seekers: the expressions are poetic and pleasant. "It has been said, perhaps with truth, that there is no document of such age to touch this one for a combination of mystical insight and understanding of human psychology." K. Winstone-Hamilton.

Book excerpt: Farid ud-Din Attar occupies a prominent place in the roll of distinguished Persian poets. His most famous work on Sufism, written eight centuries ago, is the Mantiq-ut-Tayr, or the "Colloquy of the Birds," an allegorical poem in which the gifted mystic describes the quest of the Birds (symbolising Sufi pilgrims) for the Simurg (the Lord of Creation). I should explain that I have omitted a good deal which I thought would not interest a foreign reader or would tend to obscure rather than illuminate the salient points of the discourse. I have also thought fit to give a free rather than literal translation of the selected passages, so that the work may be of interest to the casual reader as well as to the student of spiritual and mystic lore.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A RICHLY-ILLUSTRATED MYSTICAL CLASSIC . NEW IN PAPERBACK. The Conference of the Birds is a twelfth-century Sufi allegorical poem. The story of the quest for a king undertaken by the birds of the world, it also describes the Sufi (or mystical Islamic) path to enlightenment. Though hugely popular and influential in the Islamic world, the poem is still relatively unfamiliar in the West. In this edition, the poet Raficq Abdulla has reinterpreted key extracts to make the wisdom of Sufism accessible to the contemporary reader. Combining amusing anecdotes and satire with passages of great mystical beauty, the poem uses the birds’ journey to describe the stages of spiritual experience. This edition is richly illustrated with illuminations from Persian manuscripts.

This book was released on 2019-06-03 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transforming our understanding of Persian art, this impressive interdisciplinary book decodes some of the world's most exquisite medieval paintings. It reveals the hidden meaning behind enigmatic figures and scenes that have puzzled modern scholars, focusing on five 'miniature' paintings. Chad Kia shows how the cryptic elements in these works of art from Timurid Persia conveyed the mystical teachings of Sufi poets like Rumi, Attar and Jami, and heralded one of the most significant events in the history of Islam: the takeover by the Safavids in 1501 and the conversion of Iran to Shiism.
