Divan of Obeyd Zakani

DIVAN OF OBEYD ZAKANI Translation and Introduction Paul Smith Obeyd Zakani (b. 1300) is an important a figure in Persian and Sufi literature and poetry. His satire, humorous stories, ribald and obscene poems, social commentary, mystical ghazals, prose, ruba'is, qit'as and his famous epic qasida 'Cat & Mouse' are popular today and are more relevant than ever. He is considered to be one of the world's greatest satirist and social-commentator whose life and mystical poems had a great influence on his student and friend Hafiz and many others. This is the largest selection of his works available in English. The correct rhyme-structure has been kept as well as the beauty and meaning of these sometimes rude, funny and mystical poems and prose. There is a long Introduction on his Life, Times & Works.
