Islamic Mystical Poetry
Author: Mahmood Jamal
Publisher: Penguin UK
ISBN: 0141932244
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 426
Book Description
Written from the ninth to the twentieth century, these poems represent the peak of Islamic Mystical writing, from Rabia Basri to Mian Mohammad Baksh. Reflecting both private devotional love and the attempt to attain union with God and become absorbed into the Divine, many poems in this edition are imbued with the symbols and metaphors that develop many of the central ideas of Sufism: the Lover, the Beloved, the Wine, and the Tavern; while others are more personal and echo the poet's battle to leave earthly love behind. These translations capture the passion of the original poetry and are accompanied by an introduction on Sufism and the common themes apparent in the works. This edition also includes suggested further reading.

Rumi's Secret
Author: Brad Gooch
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0062199072
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
A biography of the Sufi poet that’s “a dazzling feat of scholarship . . . the book restores Rumi to the glories and hardships of his momentous age” (The Washington Post). Ecstatic love poems of Rumi, a Persian poet and Sufi mystic born over eight centuries ago, are beloved by millions of readers in America as well as around the world. He has been compared to Shakespeare for his outpouring of creativity and to Saint Francis of Assisi for his spiritual wisdom. Yet his life has long remained the stuff of legend rather than intimate knowledge. In this breakthrough biography, New York Times–bestselling author Brad Gooch brilliantly brings to life the man and puts a face to the name Rumi, vividly coloring in his time and place—a world as rife with conflict as our own. The map of Rumi’s life stretched over 2,500 miles. Gooch traces this epic journey from Central Asia, where Rumi was born in 1207, traveling with his family, displaced by Mongol terror, to settle in Konya, Turkey. Pivotal was the disruptive appearance of Shams of Tabriz, who taught him to whirl and transformed him from a respectable Muslim preacher into a poet and mystic. Their vital connection as teacher and pupil, friend and beloved, is one of the world’s greatest spiritual love stories. When Shams disappeared, Rumi coped with the pain of separation by composing joyous poems of reunion, both human and divine. Ambitious, bold, and beautifully written, Rumi’s Secret reveals the unfolding of Rumi’s devotion to a “religion of love,” remarkable in his own time and made even more relevant for the twenty-first century by this compelling account.

The Love Poems Of Rumi
Author: Deepak Chopra
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 1409023958
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 68
Book Description
Born Jalal ad-Din Mohammed Balkhi in Persia early in the thirteenth century, the poet known as Rumi expressed the deepest feelings of the heart through his poetry. This volume consists of new translations edited by Deepak Chopra to evoke the rich mood and music of Rumi's love poems. Exalted yearning, ravishing ecstasy, and consuming desire emerge from these poems as powerfully today as they did on their creation more than 700 years ago. 'These poems reflect the deepest longings of the human heart as it searches for the divine. They celebrate love. Each poetic whisper is urgent, expressing the desire that penetrates human relationships and inspires intimacy with the self, silently nurturing an affinity for the Beloved. Both Fereydoun Kia, the translator, and I hope that you will share the experience of ravishing ecstasy that the poems of Rumi evoked in us. In this volume we have sought to capture in English the dreams, wishes, hopes, desires, and feelings of a Persian poet who continues to amaze, bewilder, confound, and teach, one thousand years after he walked on this earth' - Deepak Chopra

The Language of Love

ISBN: 9780988913035
Category :
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
While The Language of Love is quite literally dedicated to conveying love and passion, the subject of this collection of powerful poems is quite surprising. It's you! This new compilation of verses from Ray Buchanan uses the ancient Sufi poetic tradition to present fresh ruminations on the nature of God and spirituality. Buchanan here offers love poems of a radically different sort: they are written from the perspective and in the voice of the Creator, dedicated to his creations all over the world rather than to a physical lover. Let the love of the divine wash over you through these inspirational lines-and bring you peace. Buchanan's poetry reveals the full depth of the Creator's love. God longs for oneness with every single person on this earth-and accepting this can lead us to true ecstasy. We all long for the Creator's love, a fact we may not even realize. Not until we are faced with the fullness of God's devotion can we understand this simple spiritual truth. Buchanan hopes his work will inspire you to open your own heart and find the ecstatic joy he feels every day as one of God's creations.
