THE BOOK OF KABIR Short Poems (Sakhis) Translation & Introduction Paul Smith 'Here are wonderful words of wisdom (sakhis/poems) from one of the wisest of the wise. Here are lines of love from a Master of Divine Love, and a human being who has lived as all human beings should live, with compassion, honesty and courage. If you want the Truth, no holds barred, it is here, but as we're told; truth is dangerous! These poems change people. You will not be the same! As Kabir says. Wake up sleepy head!' From the Introduction that includes a Glossary and a Selected Bibliography. Nearly 700 poems. Large Print Format 7 x 10. 698 pages. COMMENTS ON PAUL SMITH'S TRANSLATION OF HAFIZ'S 'DIVAN'.It is not a joke... the English version of ALL the ghazals of Hafiz is a great feat and of paramount importance. I am astonished. If he comes to Iran I will kiss the fingertips that wrote such a masterpiece inspired by the Creator of all. Dr. Mir Mohammad Taghavi (Dr. of Literature) Tehran. Superb translations. 99% Hafiz 1% Paul Smith. Ali Akbar Shapurzman, translator and knower of Hafiz's Divan off by heart.Smith has probably put together the greatest collection of literary facts and history concerning Hafiz. Daniel Ladinsky (Penguin Books author). I was very impressed with the beauty of these books. Dr. R.K. Barz. Faculty of Asian Studies, Australian National University.
