The DIVAN-I HAFIZ is a complete verbatim translation of all of Hafez's ghazals, rubaiyats, qita'at, masnavi, the saqinameh, the moghaninameh, qasaid, and mokhamas. It includes a biography of the poet, description of other translations, index of the personages in the poems, index of the figures of speech used, and copious notes on practically every line in the poems based on Sudi's well known Turkish commentary. This new edition includes a new introduction by Michael C Hillmann, a Hafez scholar, which surveys: other English translations, Wilberforce-Clarke's translation, the life of Hafez and the historical and literary characteristics of the ghazal. Also added to this new edition is a table which gives the correspondence between the numbers given to the poems in Clarke's translation and the recent Persian language editions of the divan of Khanlari and of Ghazvini and Ghani. Also added to this new edition is a table matching the English translations with the original Persian in the editions Ghazvini and Ghani and of Khanlari. Clarke's word for word translation and its copious notes explaining almost everything make it very suitable for the English speaking student of Hafez who is attempting to learn the Persian. The DIVAN-I HAFIZ has been used extensively by later translators of Hafez. The collection includes 693 translations.

THE COMPLETE DIVAN OF HAFEZ Including Ghazals Inspired by the Ghazals of Hafezby the Translator Paul SmithThe ghazal, spiritual love poems or mystical blues in a strict rhyming-structure, are still very popular in the Indian Sub-continent and the Middle-East of today. It is the oldest of all forms of poetry (it is said that Adam the first poet invented it). The greatest Master of the ghazal was Hafez of Shiraz (1320-1392). This is a completely revised one volume edition of the only modern, poetic translation of Hafez's masterpiece of 793 ghazals, masnavis, rubais and his other poems. The spiritual and historical and human content is here in understandable, beautiful poetry: the correct rhyme-structure has been achieved, without intruding, in readable English for the first time. In the Introduction his life story is told in greater detail than anywhere else; his spirituality is explored, the form and function of his poetry, and the use of his book for over 600 years as a worldly guide and spiritual oracle. Included are notes to most poems, glossary, selected bibliography and indexes. There are four Appendixes including over 200 of the translator's own ghazals using the first couplets of those of Hafez for inspiration.

He has no peer!"Gertrude Bell: "It is as if his mental Eye, endowed with wonderful acuteness of vision, had penetrated into those provinces of thought which we of a later age were destined to inhabit."Meher Baba: "There is no equal to Hafiz in poetry. He was a Perfect Master ... His Divan is the best book in the world because it engenders feelings which ultimately lead to illumination."COMMENTS ON PAUL SMITH'S TRANSLATION OF THE 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."

At last in English is a wide selection from the great Persian poet Hafez, so beloved in Iran that almost every family there keeps his Divan close at hand. When Robert Bly and Coleman Barks visited Iran, they heard schoolchildren singing Hafez poems at his graveside. For some fifteen years, the great Islamic scholar Leonard Lewisohn has worked with Robert Bly to produce this translation, which for the first time carries into English Hafez's nimbleness, his fierce humor directed at the mullahs, his astonishing range of thought, and the delight of his love poems. A master of the ghazal form, one of the greatest inventions in the history of poetry, Hafez may be considered as Rumi's wild younger brother, and is now translated into an English that helps us understand his true genius.
