Description

IBN ALFARID LIFE & POEMS Translation & Introduction Paul Smith Umar Ibn alFarid, an Egyptian poet (11811235), is considered to be the undisputed master of Islamic mystical poetry into Arabic. He is considered not only to be a poet but a Perfect Master (Qutub) a Godrealised soul... and it is his journey to unity with God that he reveals in probably the longest qasida (ode) in Arabic (761 couplets), his famous The Mystics Progress. The other poem for which he is most known is his Wine Poem that is often seen as a prologue to the The Mystics Progress. Although these long poems have been translated into English before this is the first time in the correct rhyme of the qasida and in clear, concise, modern English. Included in the Introduction are chapters on his Life & Work, The Qasida, Selected Bibliography.
