Synopsis
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 the Divine, many of the poems in this edition are imbued with the symbols and metaphors that are central to Sufism—the Lover, the Beloved, the Wine, and the Tavern—while others are more personal, echoing 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 suggestions for further reading.
