Description

THE THREE GREATEST FEMALE SUFI PERSIAN POETS Mahsati, Jahan Makhfi. Translation Introduction Paul Smith. MAHSATI (10981185) lived in Ganjeh when Sultan Sanjar reigned. She was a court, dervish (Sufi) and ribald poet. She knew Nizami (she is said to have been buried in his mausoleum) and Omar Khayyam... and like Omar composed only in the rubai form and must be considered not only a master of that form but also to have helped to revolutionize it. She was famous and also infamous for her truly liberated behaviour. She was an influence on perhaps Irans greatest female poet JAHAN Khatun. She was the daughter of the king of one of Shirazs most turbulent times (14th century) Masud Shah pupil and lifelong friend of the worlds greatest mystical, lyric poet, Hafiz of Shiraz imprisoned for twenty years while her daughter mysteriously died openminded and scandalous... the beautiful, petite princess who abdicated her royalty twice one of Irans greatest mystical lyric poets...whose Divan is four times the size of Hafizs. MAKHFI (16381702) penname meaning concealed, was ZebunNissa the beautiful and talented oldest daughter of the strict Muslim Emperor of India, Aurangzeb. She was imprisoned for 20 years for her Sufi views and conspiring with a brother against him. Her over 550 ghazals and rubais in Persian are deep, spiritual and at times truly heartbreaking. Complete biographies on all poets. Selected Bibliographies. Correct forms and meaning are preserved in all poems. Large Print...
