The present work is an attempt to pay homage to the devout beings who spent their lives in the quest of Divine Love (i.e. Love of the True Divinity). It primarily comprehends the inspirational verses contributed by Arabic, Persian, Punjabi, Sindhi and Pashtun Sufi poets, belonging to diverse cultural and geographical traditions. In order to pursue the authentic translations of the aforementioned verses, the contributions made by scholars and academics like Vraje Abramia, Daniel Karlin, Margaret Smith, A.J. Arberry, Reynold Alleyne Nicholson, Lochan Singh Buxi, Harjeet Singh Gill, Coleman Barks, John Moyne, Reynold Nicholson, Lederer Florence, E. H. Whinfield , Gertrude Lowthian Bell, H. Wilberforce Clarke, Frederick Hadland Davis, H.T. Sorley, Shahzad Qaiser, and K, B. Advani, have been preferred. It is unfortunate that some of the renowned Sufi verses of Arabic, Pashto, Balochi, Kashmiri, Barahwi Saraiki, and Hindi, have not been translated into English. The present book has preferably selected the works of those poets whose authentic translations could be accessed. It has been ensured that the references be mentioned in every section, together with the translated texts, so that readers may seek a direct access to the cited texts when required. While compiling and editing the content, the originality of the translated texts has been retained, except in some cases where the formal procedures of text-editing were required to be pursued. Minor alterations in this regard, hence center on achieving the objectives of lucidity and comprehensibility. It is hoped that the attempt shall seek to provide the lovers of poetry a chance to gain an insight into the magnificent treasury of Sufi Wisdom. (Following are the names of Twenty Sufi poets whose poetry is included in this book: 1. Abu Said Abul Khayr (967-1049), 2. Omar Khayyam (1048 -1131), 3. Ahmad Yasawi (1093-1166), 4.

Begun in 1262 AD, Masnavi-ye Ma ‘navi, or ‘spiritual couplets', is thought to be the longest single-authored ‘mystical’ poem ever written. As the spiritual masterpiece of the Persian Sufi tradition, it teaches how to progress to the ultimate goal of the Sufi path - union with God. Jalaloddin Rumi was a poet and a mystic, but he was first a teacher; in these verses he draws the reader into the complexities of human love and separation and explains the path to divine love through the elimination of self-regard and worldly desires. Drawing on diverse sources from bawdy tales and fables to stories of the prophet Mohammed, these verses are brief in expression yet copious in meaning.

SELECTED POEMS & BIOGRAPHIES Translation and Introduction Paul Smith From the 13th to the 19th century Delhi was one of the great centres of Sufi Poetry & Culture in the Persian & Urdu languages. Amir Khusrau (1253-1324), the 'Parrot of India' composed ten long masnavis, five Divans of ghazals and other poems and many prose works. He was a Master musician and invented the sitar and was a profound influence on Hafiz. Hasan Dehlavi (1253-1328) was a close friend of Amir Khusrau and achieved greatness as a poet and Sufi. He composed over 800 ghazals. Influenced by Sadi he was called the 'Sadi of India'. Dara Shikoh (1615-1659) was the oldest son of Shah Jahan of Mughal India. He was a fine poet, his poems having the influence of Sufism. His Divan in Persian was not the only work he left, his five prose works on Sufism are still popular in India. Sarmad (d. 1659) was known for exposing and ridiculing the major religions and hypocrisy of his day, but he also wrote beautiful Sufi poetry in the form of 321 rubai's. He wandered the streets of Delhi as a naked dervish. He was beheaded in 1659 by Emperor Aurangzeb. Makhfi (1638-1702) was the beautiful, talented oldest daughter of Aurangzeb. She was imprisoned for 20 years by him for her Sufi views. Her ghazals and ruba'is are deep, spiritual and often heartbreaking. Bedil (1644-1721). His writings in Persian are extensive, being one of the creators of the 'Indian style'. He was heavily influenced by Sufism. Mir (1723 - 1810) was a leading Urdu poet and one of its pioneers. He was of the Delhi school of the Urdu ghazal. Mir practiced Malamati or 'Blameworthy' aspect of Sufism. Dard (1720-1784) is considered one of the three great poets of the Delhi school of classical Urdu poetry. He was a Sufi poet able to successfully transmit his mystical philosophy into his poetry and his ghazals can be read in both a mystical and secular way.

Zafar was a noted Urdu poet and Sufi who has left behind a huge collection of ghazals in four volumes. Ghalib (1797-1869}. Fame came to him posthumously.

THREE GREAT SUFI POETS OF KASHMIRLalla Ded, Nund Rishi, Ghani Kashmiri Selected PoemsTranslation & Introduction Paul SmithLalla Ded is the famous female poet/saint from Kashmir who lived at exactly the same time as Hafiz of Shiraz (1320-1392). Her vakhs (poems/sayings) are sung even today in Kashmir. She was married at a young age but the marriage was a failure and she walked out at the age of twenty-four. She became a disciple of Siddha Srikanth. It must have taken a lot of courage on her part to walk out of a marriage and to walk around unclothed as she did. She was treated with contempt by some and much reverence by others, seeing her as a saint and eventually as God-realized. Her two hundred vakhs are some of the oldest examples of Kashmiri written. She was a bridge between Hindu mysticism and Sufism. Nund Rishi ('Rishi' meaning Kashmiri Sufi) or Shaikh Nur ud-din, as he was afterwards named, was born at Kaimuh, a village two miles to the west of Bijbihara in Kashmir in 1377. He used his poetry as tool to spread the knowledge of the absolute and criticized the mullas and other pseudo-scholars and gave expression to the lives of the common people. He also composed many poems on the pitfalls of the spiritual path and on the love of the devotee for God. His poetry is called Shruks that are poems in the rhyme structure of A-B, A-B. The Rishi order is a Sufi tradition of religious harmony and it was founded by among others Nund Rishi. He was popular as a Sufi Perfect Master in Kashmir in his lifetime and still is. Ghani Kasmiri (1610-1668) is Kashmir's greatest Sufi poet of the Persian language. His teacher & spiritual master was another great Sufi & poet Mushin Fani. Ghani was visited in Kashmir by Sa'ib, Kalim & Qudsi, along with Ghani some of the most influential poets of the new style of Indian Persian poetry (Sabk-e-Hindi). Ghani led a simple life often in seclusion and never wrote for royalty or the rich. He exposed corruption and sang of truth, love and beauty in ghazals and ruba'is that are unique. Both Ghalib and Iqbal were influenced by him and sang his praises. These are the largest version of their poems in English keeping the correct rhyme structure of the originals.

Sufi poetry is both complex and yet, very simple in its approach because it only focuses on Lord Almighty and relevance, and revealing of Lord Almighty to All that ever exists. While Lord Almighty is on Pre-eternal Plane, soul is on Eternal Plane which originates from Pre-eternal Plane to encompass also, Temporal and Material Planes. Poetry is one way to explain relationship between fourth planes in existence via use of symbols and special expressions.

Written from the ninth to the twentieth century, these poems represent the peak of Islamic Mystical writing, from Rabia Basri to Mian Mohammad Baksh. Reflecting both private devotional love and the attempt to attain union with God and become absorbed into the Divine, many poems in this edition are imbued with the symbols and metaphors that develop many of the central ideas of Sufism: the Lover, the Beloved, the Wine, and the Tavern; while others are more personal and echo the poet's battle to leave earthly love behind. These translations capture the passion of the original poetry and are accompanied by an introduction on Sufism and the common themes apparent in the works. This edition also includes suggested further reading.

THE QUARTET OF GREAT SUFI MASTER POETS'Attar, Rumi, Sadi & HafizTranslations Paul Smith, Essay & Introductions Hazrat Inayat Khan & Paul SmithHere is a large selection of poems in the correct form and meaning by four of Sufism's Perfect Master Poets. Included with the poems are Essays on Poetry & Sufi Poetry by Hazrat Inayat Khan & On the Poetic forms of Persian Sufi Poetry by the Translator of the poems Paul Smith. With each poet are introductions on them by Hazrat Inayat Khan & Paul Smith. A Glossary and Selected Bibliography for each poet. Farid-ud din 'Attar is seen with Sana'i and Rumi (who he met and influenced) as one of the three most important Sufi Poet-Masters of the 13th century. Here is a wonderful, large selection of poems of the great Sufi Spiritual Master of the 13th century, who has become today the most popular poet in the world, Jalal-ud din Rumi. They are powerful, down-to-earth, spiritual and full of joy, bliss and understanding. Sadi, a contemporary of Rumi who influenced him, was another Perfect Master 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. Persia's greatest mystical lyric poet Hafiz or Hafez (1320-1390) became a Perfect Master. His Divan shows he composed in nearly all forms. As with his ghazals, his masnavis, qasidas, qita's, ruba'is and other poems are sometimes mystical and sometimes critical of the hypocrisy of his times. Included is an Appendix of a translation of Hazrat Inayat Khan's 'Book of the Winebringer.

Chosen by author Elizabeth Gilbert as one of her ten favorite books, Daniel Ladinsky’s extraordinary renderings of 250 unforgettable lyrical poems by Hafiz, one of the greatest Sufi poets of all time More than any other Persian poet—even Rumi—Hafiz expanded the mystical, healing dimensions of poetry. Because his poems were often ecstatic love songs from God to his beloved world, many have called Hafiz the “Invisible Tongue.” Indeed, Daniel Ladinsky has said that his work with Hafiz is an attempt to do the impossible: to render Light into words—to make the Luminous Resonance of God tangible to our finite senses. I am a hole in a flute that the Christ's breath moves through— listen to this music! With this stunning collection of Hafiz’s most intimate poems, Ladinsky has succeeded brilliantly in presenting the essence of one of Islam’s greatest poetic and religious voices. Each line of The Gift imparts the wonderful qualities of this master Sufi poet and spiritual teacher: encouragement, an audacious love that touches lives, profound knowledge, generosity, and a sweet, playful genius unparalleled in world literature.
