Description

THE SUFI DIVAN OF RAHMAN BABA Selected Poems. Translation Introduction Paul Smith. Rahman Baba (1652 to 1711) is considered the greatest Sufi Pashtun poets to compose poems, mainly ghazals, in the Pashtu language. Born in Mohmand region of Afghanistan near Peshawar he was called The Nightingale of Peshawar. This was a time of struggle and hardship and in the midst of the turmoil he was an excellent student with a natural gift for poetry. He eventually questioned the value of such pursuits and withdrew from the world, dedicating himself to prayer and devotion. In solitary worship he began to write again and his poetry spread. Religious figures used it to inspire the devout, political leaders to inspire the independence movement. His Divan is 343 poems... ghazals and a few qasidas and mukhammas. Introduction is on his Life Times Poetry and the Forms in which he wrote and on Sufism Poetry. Appendix on his life and Achievements.The correct rhymestructure is kept as well as the meaning of these beautiful, enlightened poems. Large Print (16pt) Large Format Paperback (8" x 10") 206 pages.

Dr. Mir Mohammad Taghavi (Dr. of Literature) Tehran. "Superb translations. 99% Hafiz 1% Paul Smith." Ali Akbar Shapurzman, translator of many works in English into Persian and knower of Hafizs Divan off by heart....
