He founded the city of Hyderabad. Qutab Shah was a scholar of Arabic and Persian. He wrote poetry in Urdu and Persian. His poetry has been compiled into a Divan of ghazals, masnavis, qasidas, ruba'is, and qit'as. He had the distinction of being the first Urdu (Rekhta) poet and is credited with introducing a new sensibility into prevailing genres of Persian/Urdu poetry. He was a Sufi poet and a devout Shi'ite Muslim. Wali Deccani was born in 1667 in Aurangabad, India. He loved travelling and his visit to Delhi in 1700 is considered to be of significance for Urdu ghazals. His simple, sensuous and melodious poems in Urdu, awakened the Persian loving poets of Delhi to the beauty and capability of 'Rekhta'. He stimulated the development of the Urdu ghazal in Delhi. His favourite theme was love, mystical (Sufi) and earthly, and his tone was one of cheerful affirmation and acceptance, rather than of melancholy. Wali died in Ahmedabad in 1707.

NINE GREAT URDU SUFI POETSQutub Shah, Dard, Nazir, Mir, Aatish, Zauq, Zafar, Ghalib & Hali.Translation & Introduction Paul SmithSome of the greatest and most memorable spiritual poems of all time have been composed in the Urdu language and are contained in this anthology. CONTENTS: The Urdu Language; Urdu Poetry; The Ghazal in Urdu Poetry; The Ruba'i in Urdu Poetry; The Masnavi and other forms in Urdu Poetry; Sufis & Dervishes: Their Art & Use of Poetry. THE POETS... Qutub Shah (1565-1611) was the fifth sultan of the Qutub Shahi dynasty of Golconda in South India. He founded the city of Hyderabad and was a scholar of Arabic and Persian. He wrote poetry in Urdu and Persian. He had the distinction of being the first Urdu poet. He was also a mystic or Sufi poet and a devout Shiite Muslim. Dard (1720-1784) is considered one of the three great poets of the Delhi school of classical Urdu poetry. He is firstly a Sufi poet who saw the physical world as a veil of the Divine Reality and this world a pathway. Nazir (1735-1830) No other Urdu poet used as many words as Nazir. He was influenced by Amir Khusrau, Sadi, Rumi and like many other Urdu poets especially Hafiz whom he often quotes. He eventually renounced all wealth for a life of poverty. He was said to have been a great musician. It is also said that he became God-realized. Mir (1723-1810) practiced the Malamati or 'Blameworthy' aspect of Sufism. Using this way one ascribes to oneself an unconventional aspect of a person or society then plays out its results either in action or in poetry. He composed mainly ghazals and an autobiography. Aatish (1777-1847) was born in Faizabad. Some critics rank him beside Mir and Ghalib. His ghazals are mainly Sufi in flavour on the traditional themes of human and divine love. He went blind towards the end of his life. Zafar (1775-1862) the last of the Mughal emperors in India,, was a noted Urdu poet and Sufi who often held poetry readings at his court. He was especially influenced by the poet Zauq. He wrote a large number of Urdu ghazals and other forms of poetry. Zauq (1788-1855) was a religious man and in his ghazals he often dealt with mystical and ethical themes. Most of his poetical output was lost during the mutiny of 1857. Ghalib, (1797-1869). His Urdu Divan of this now famous poet contains 263 ghazals and ruba'is, masnavis, qasidas and qit'as. There have been many movies based on his life made in India and Pakistan where his popularity has never flagged. Hali 1837-1914) was poet, critic, teacher, reformer and prose-writer. He also wrote biographies of Ghalib and Sadi of Shiraz. The correct rhyme-structure & meaning has been obtained in all of these hundreds of beautiful, inspiring, loving, honest, mystical poems.

AL-SHUSHTARI: LIFE & POEMS Translation & Introduction by Paul Smith Abu al-Hasan al-Shushtari (1312-1369) was a Sufi poet who was born in Guadix, northwest of Granada, Spain. As a young man he travelled to Tunisia, Algeria, Damascus and several times made the pilgrimage to Mecca. He finally settled in Egypt. He became a devotee of the Sufi Master Ibn Sab'in who was four years younger than him and was widely respected at that time. They first met in Algeria when in their thirties and later went together to Mecca and Egypt. Al-Shushtari composed two treatises on Sufism and dedicated three poems to his spiritual Master. Often when walking or riding the poet would sing his poems and play an instrument as he did so. In his latter days he had many disciples. He was influenced by the great Sufi Perfect Master Ibn 'Arabi although he expressed at times criticism of the complicated nature of his teachings, preferring a simpler explanation. Al-Shushtari's true legacy lives on in the heart of men who still sing his poems and celebrate his memory. In the Delta of Egypt, followers of the Shadhiliyya Order still recite his zajal, while in Tunisia his words are sung to the tones of a musical instrument bearing his name, 'al-Sustariyya.' In Morocco his songs are a common denominator to several Sufi celebrations, and in Spain he is regarded as a trendsetter in Andalusian literature and is better known as 'The Juggler of Love.' Most of his poems are in the forms of qasidas, ghazals, qit'as, muwashasha, zajal: all here represented in the correct form & meaning. Introduction on his Life, Times & Poetry, on Sufi Poetry & on the forms of poetry in which he wrote. Selected Bibliography. 120 pages.

An absorbing, authentic and exemplary chronicle – studded with rare nuggets of information and enthralling anecdotes – of one of the most tragic figures of history who was witness to the end of a glorious dynasty First published in Urdu in 1986, this ‘labour of love’ brings alive the life and poetry of Bahadur Shah Zafar (1775 to 1862), the last Mughal Emperor. Zafar presided over a crucial period in Indian history when the country was subjugated and became a colony of the fast-expanding British Empire. Aslam Parvez’s account – with its wealth of detail – stands out in the manner in which it weaves together the strands of the political, the personal, the cultural and the literary aspects of a bygone era. This work is as much about the 1857 Rebellion as it is about Bahadur Shah Zafar, the reluctant leader of the rebels. The pages also evoke the captivating ambience of a period when formidable poets such as Mirza Ghalib, Sheikh Muhammad Ibrahim Zauq and Momin Khan Momin, apart from Zafar himself, came up with one creative gem after another. The author also provides a vivid and fascinating picture of Delhi during the last days of its cultural and literary splendour as the Mughal capital and as a custodian of Urdu literature and poetry. Finally, he recounts, in a touching manner, how Zafar spent his last days in Rangoon (where he had been exiled by the British) – a lonely and forgotten individual – far away from his beloved Delhi and from the trappings of his empire.

THE ROYAL SUFI POETS OF MUGHAL INDIABabur, Humayan, Kamran, Akbar, Qutub Shah,Jahangir, Dara Shikoh, Makhfi & Zafar.SELECTED POEMSTranslation & Introduction Paul SmithThe Mughal Empire was an imperial power in South Asia that ruled a large portion of the Indian subcontinent. It began in 1526, invaded and ruled most of India by the late 17th and early 18th centuries, and ended in the mid-19th century. Babur, the first 'Mughal' emperor (who wrote some poetry influenced by Sufism) learned about the riches of Hindustan and conquest of it by his ancestor, Timurlane, in 1503 at Dikh-Kat, a place in the Transoxiana region. Babur's son Humayun (another who composed Sufi-influenced poetry) succeeded him in 1530. The 'classic period' of the Empire started in 1556 with the accession of Jalaluddin Mohammad Akbar, better known as Akbar the Great. It ended with the death of the last emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar, both Sufis and poets. The prince and ruler of Golconda Qutub Shah (1565-1611) who built the city of Hyderabad was a great Sufi poet as were Prince Dara Shikoh who composed books on Vedanta and Sufism before his fundamentalist younger brother Aurangzeb had him killed. He was greatly loved by his niece Princess Zeb-un-Nissa, the poetess 'Makhfi', and was a profound influence on her becoming a Sufi and a wonderful poet. She spent many years jailed by her father. Other poets include Prince Kamran and Emperor Jahangir. Introduction: The Mughal Empire, Sufis & Dervishes: Their Art and Use of Poetry, The Main Forms in Persian & Urdu Poetry of Mughal India. The correct rhyme-structure of these ghazals, ruba'is and qit'as have been kept in this translation of these many beautiful, truthful, mainly spiritual poems.
