Excerpt: ...no voice from the old man reached the ear. Then he said: "O thou that hast seen many days, I perceive that thou art not pious and earnest as an old man should be. "Is it not proper, when thou eatest thy daily bread, to name the name of the Lord who gave it?" He replied: "I have not followed thy way, for I was never taught it by the Priest of the Fire-Worshippers." Then the Prophet of good omen knew that the old man was an Infidel, doomed to perdition; And when he found him to be an alien, he assailed him with contumelies as a wicked wretch too unholy to consort with the holy. Then came an Angel from the Creator who reproved him sternly, saying: "I have bestowed upon him life and daily food for a hundred years, and is he become to thee an abomination in a single day? "If he hath offered up his adoration before Fire, art thou therefore to withdraw from him the hand of benevolence?"--Grafs Text, p. 142. Trans/. i. 99. The Wise Man And The Cheat. An eloquent fellow came to a Wise-man, saying: "I am broken-down and stuck fast, entangled in the clay. "I am indebted to one of the base-bom rabble ten direms, the weight of which lieth on my breast like ten hundred-weights. "All night he maketh my condition miserable; all day he followeth my tail like my shadow. "He hath sorely broken my heart with his words; my inmost soul as the door of my house. "He talketh as though God, since his mother bore him, had never given him aught save those ten direms. "Of the books of his religion he knoweth not the first letter, and can recite only the chapter of denial. "Not a day doth the sun rise above the mountain that this wretched man is not battering my door with the knocker. "I am...

Download or read book The Poems of Hafez written by Ḥāfiẓ and published by Ibex Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2006 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Sufism. Middle Eastern Literature. Arab American Studies. Translated from the Persian by Reza Ordoubadian. Shamsed-din Hafez was born some six hundred years ago in southern Iran, but his poems have universal and contemporary appeal. Wherever Persian is known, he is easily recited by both king and common man. Those uncertain about matters of love, fortune, or any other situation open a page of his collection of poems at random and in it see their dilemmas untangled. His turns of phrase have enriched the Persian lexicon and entered everyday language; this has made him Persian culture's most read, quoted, and revered figure. Reza Ordoubadian's translations make the poems of Hafez accessible to the English language reader, while remaining faithful to the nuances of Hafez's language and thought in the original Persian.
Download or read book Sa di in Love written by Homa Katouzian and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-06-16 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'In the breath that I die, for you I'll be longing/ Wishing to turn into the dust of your belonging' - Sa'di, Expressions of Love. With poetry which speaks across the ages, Sa'di (1210-1281) is a vital classical poet and a towering figure of the medieval Persian canon. Comparable in skill and stature to other Persian poets such as Ferdowsi, Hafez, Rumi and Omar Khayyam, Sa'di's verses--best known through his 'Bustan' and 'Golestan' address universal themes of passion, love and the human condition in works which are both psychologically perceptive and beautifully crafted. His mystical writings, contemporaneous with Rumi, reveal a degree of depth, wisdom and insight which have placed Sa'di in the pantheon of world literature. In this essential new translation of Sa'di's work, leading expert on Iranian studies Homa Katouzian seeks to bring the poet's lyrics to a new readership. The book provides the Persian text and Katouzian's English translation side-by-side, creating an indispensible tool for students and enthusiasts of Iranian history, literature and culture.
Download or read book Persian Love Poetry written by Vesta Sarkhosh Curtis and published by Interlink Books. This book was released on 2013-09-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love is a major theme in Persian poetry and can be interpreted in various ways—as mystic love, the basis of the relationship between humans and God, or as passionate or affectionate love between lovers, husbands and wives, parents and children, family and friends, or even as patriotic love of Iran. The literary style and indeed the Persian language itself are floral and elaborate, but the themes differ little from our preoccupations with love and romance today. This collection of extracts has been selected from the best of traditional and contemporary Persian poetry. Each poem is illustrated with a fine example of Persian art from the collections of the British Museum. With a brief introduction to the Persian poetic tradition and a short biographical note about each of the poets, this beautiful anthology is the perfect way to discover the treasures of Persian literature and art.
Download or read book The Gulistan of Saadi written by Saadi Shirazi and published by . This book was released on 2016-07-28 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in Shiraz, Iran, in 1184, Saadi is considered one of the greatest Persian poets of all time. Saadi's two books, the poetic Bostan, or Orchard (in 1257), and the prose Gulistan, the Rose Garden (in 1258), are regarded as supreme accomplishments of Persian literature. The Persian literature and culture are deeply indebted to Saadi's publications. The Gulistan (The Rose Garden) is a landmark of Persian literature, and one of the most influential works of prose in Persian. Written in 1258 CE, it is considered as one of the greatest medieval Persian poets. The Gulistan is a collection of stories and poems, just as a rose-garden is a collection of roses. The translation appearing in this book is provided by Edward Rehatsek in 1888. This bilingual book can be useful for students and enjoyable for poetry lovers of any age. Not only will poems and stories improve your Persian language, but they'll help your understanding of Persian culture. Students will have ample opportunities to enrich their Persian learning experience and extend a range of language abilities through exploring these poems. The English - Persian Glossary at the end of the book can help Persian students better understand keywords in the poems.
