Selected Sufi Poems of Iqbal Large Print & Large Format edition

SELECTED SUFI POEMS OF IQBAL (Large Print & Large Format Edition) Translation & Introduction Paul Smith Muhammad Iqbal (1873-1938) was born in Sialkot, Punjab. He graduated in Lahore with a master's degree in philosophy. He taught there while he established his reputation as an Urdu poet. During this period his poetry expressed an ardent Indian nationalism, but a marked change came over his views when he was studying for his doctorate at Cambridge, visiting German universities. He turned to Islam and Sufism for inspiration and rejected nationalism as a disease of the West. These ideas found expression in his long poems written in Persian, presumably to gain his ideas an audience in the Moslem world outside India. In his final years he returned to Urdu as his medium with ghazals inspired by his on-and-off Sufism. Here is a large collection of his Sufi ruba'is, ghazals, nazms, qit'as, masnavis & a qasida in English in the correct rhyme-structure and meaning. Introduction on his Life, Times & Poetry and Poetic Forms he wrote in. Selected Bibliography. Large Print (16pt) & Large Format Edition (7" x 10") 268 pages. Paul Smith (b. 1945) is a poet, author and translator of many books of Sufi poets of the Persian, Arabic, Urdu, Turkish, Pashtu and other languages... including Hafiz, Sadi, Nizami, Rumi, 'Attar, Sana'i, Jahan Khatun, Obeyd Zakani, Mu'in, Amir Khusrau, Nesimi, Kabir, Anvari, Ansari, Jami, Omar Khayyam, Rudaki, Yunus Emre, Mahsati, Lalla Ded, Bulleh Shah, Shah Latif, Makhfi, Seemab, Jigar, Abu Nuwas, Ibn al-Farid and many others, and his own poetry, fiction, plays, biographies, children's books and screenplays. amazon.com/author/smithpa
