Description:

The Complete DIVAN OF SA'DI Ghazals, Ruba'is, Masnavis, Qit'as & Pand-Nama or Book of WisdomGulistan or Rosegarden & Bustan or Orchard. Translation & Introduction Paul SmithSa'di of Shiraz (1210-1291), a contemporary of Rumi who influenced him, was a Sufi Perfect Master (Qutub) 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. Sa'di was a great traveller who spent forty years on the road throughout the Middle-East, North Africa and India and many of the incidents he experienced he wrote down in his two most famous works when he finally returned to his beloved birth-place... The Rose Garden (Gulistan) and The Orchard (Bustan). Sa'di's mystical love poetry, his ghazals, although almost unknown in the West, are loved by his fellow-countrymen almost as much as those of Hafiz whom he greatly influenced. Here for the first time in English they can be read in all their beauty and power and spirit. The correct rhyme-structure has been kept as well as the beauty and meaning of many of these unique mystical poems. All of the wonderful 603 ghazals from Sa'di's Badayi and Tayyibat and many of his ruba'is, and some of his masnavis & qit'as and all of his famous couplets from his Pand-Nama (Wise Sayings)& The Gulistan & Bustan have been translated in clear, modern, meaningful English. Introduction: Life & Times & Poetry of Sa'di of Shiraz and his influence on the East and the West and on the form and meaning of the ghazal and the ruba'i and a Sufi Glossary and a Selected Bibliography.
