The Master's Words

THE MASTER'S WORDS: Poems (Ghazals) inspired by sayings of Meher Baba by Paul Smith. From the 1920's into the late sixties the great Indian God-Realized Spiritual Master Meher Baba (1894-1969), composed unique ghazals under the pen-name of Huma. Now after 40 years as his disciple and being a poet from the mid-sixties, Paul Smith, uses the unique sayings of Meher Baba as the first lines to compose his own ghazals about love, spirituality, God, the present crises. The author carries on the ancient tradition of the ghazal and completes the task with love and dedication and the experience of writing hundreds of his own (the first in English) and translating for over 40 years those of Huma, Hafiz, Sadi, Nesimi, 'Attar and many others. Included are biographies of both poets and an article on Form, Function and History of the oldest, most mysterious, most beautiful poetic form... the still popular ghazal. Large Print (16pt) & Large Format (8.5" x 11") Pages 216. "To penetrate into the essence of all being and significance and to release the fragrance of that inner attainment for the guidance and benefit of others, by expressing in the world of forms, truth, love, purity and beauty... this is the only game which has any intrinsic and absolute worth. All other, happenings, incidents and attainments can, in themselves, have no lasting importance." Meher Baba. Comments on Paul Smith's Version 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." Dr. Mir Mohammad Taghavi (Dr. of Literature) Tehran. "Superb translations. 99% Hafiz 1% Paul Smith." Ali Akbar Shapurzman, translator into Persian and knower of Hafiz's Divan off by heart. Paul Smith (b. 1945) is a poet, author and translator of many books of Sufi poets of Persian, Arabic, Urdu, Turkish, Pashtu and other languages, including Hafiz, Sadi, Nizami, Rumi, 'Attar, Sana'i, Jahan, Obeyd Zakani, Nesimi, Kabir, Anvari, Ansari, Jami, Khayyam, Rudaki, Yunus Emre, Lalla Ded, Iqbal, Ghalib and many others, as well as poetry, fiction, plays, biographies and screenplays. amazon.com/author/smithpa
