Book Description
From the author of Hafiz, the Voice of God; Khusro, the Indian Orpheus; and Ghalib, the Indian Beloved, comes this stunning collection of nearly three hundred selected and merry Eastern odes by the Persian wordsmith Hafiz, who was able to capture both the human as well as the divine. In Hafiz, Drunk with God, Khalid Hameed Shaida returns to the great mystic poet who left as a body of work nearly six hundred poems of praise and passion. Hafiz was certain that love conquered all, testing the complicated heartstrings of love and beauty with each line and every stanza. In Shaida's interpretation, Hafiz ultimately takes a wonderfully contemporary beat, yet the original Eastern rhythm is preserved. Each poem illustrates how challenging it is to separate the individual from his or her godlike nature-and beauty from love. Reflecting on man and God, this enduring collection is exhilarating, relevant, and essential.

Book Description
With an arcing and emphatic beauty, Ghalib, the Indian Beloved by Khalid Hameed Shaida is a starry-eyed collection of one hundred and twenty-four translated odes by Ghalib. Capturing the essence and pure song of one of the most loved romantic poets of India, Shaida's translation and interpretations also illustrate the deeply philosophical undertones of Ghalib's voice. Born into the gentry in the dying days of the Mughal Empire, Ghalib led a charmed life as a darling of the last Mughal king, himself a renowned poet. Primarily, Ghalib's body of work celebrates feminine beauty, often bemoaning the cruelness of unrequited affection. For his part, Shaida, who is best known for his previous collections entitled Khusro, the Indian Orpheus; Hafiz, Drunk with God; and Hafiz, the Voice of God, carries on the Eastern tradition that makes the most of the playful, yet thoughtful, exuberance of love, passion, and endearing wiles of the heart.
