Download or read book Islamic Mystical Poetry written by Mahmood Jamal and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2009-10-29 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Sultan Within written by and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turkish-English translation of selected poems of Yunus Emre, the famous Sufi mystical poet. A remarkable achievement in translation. Erse remains as true as possible to the actual Turkish meaning of words, selecting each one with the care that only a truly bilingual person, and one very well-schooled in Sufism, could ever achieve. As an example, there is another translation reading "Hold on to the hand of a striding hero", which Erse instead translates to the much closer actual words of "Hold on to the skirt of an attained one". This totally changes the meaning, encouraging the reader to find a true Sheikh and hold fast to his teachings. Erse strove to give English-speakers as close to the same experience, in English, as Yunus delivers in Turkish. For example, Yunus sometimes makes up words, adding endings like "ingly" (see poem #9), and Erse is faithful to that; this is most obvious in poem #24, "Crazy Dervish". Without Erse unveiling that for us, we English-speakers would never know Yunus' playful aspect with words (unique to this translation). Where he could do so without sacrificing accuracy, the poems still rhyme. Erse has judiciously omitted articles such as "the" or "a" to make each line the exact same number of syllables as in the Yunus Turkish spoken version. At first this may give the reader the experience that the poems use strange English, but you'll soon become accustomed to the poetic value and see the true beauty of Yunus' work.

Book excerpt: YUNUS EMRE & NESIMI THE TWO GREAT TURKISH SUFI POETS Their Lives & Selection of their Poems Translation & Introduction Paul Smith Yunus Emre (d. 132o) is considered one of the most important Turkish poets having a great influence on Turkish literature from his own time until today. His poems concern divine love as well as human love of the Divine as God and the Perfect Master, Beloved, Friend and human destiny and weakness.

This illustrates his simple approach that has made him loved by many. Here is the largest selection of his poems translated into English mainly in the form of the gazel that he often used. Nesimi (1369-1417) is one of the greatest mystical poets of the late 14th and early 15th centuries and one of the most prominent early masters in Turkish/Azerbaijani literary history. For Nesimi at the centre of Creation there was God, who bestowed His Light on man. Through sacrifice and self-perfection, man can become one with Him. As a direct result of his beliefs he was skinned alive. His tomb in Aleppo remains an important place of pilgrimage to this day. His work consists of two collections of poems, one in Persian and the most important in Turkish that consists of 250-300 ghazels and about 175 roba'is. After his death his work continued to exercise an influence on Turkish language poets and authors. The 600th anniversary of his birth was celebrated worldwide by UNESCO.
