But translations that have popularized the work of this thirteenth-century Sufi mystic have also strayed from its essence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this fresh translation from the Persian, Farrukh Dhondy seeks to recover both the lyrical beauty and the spiritual essence of the original verse. In poems of love and devotion, rapture and suffering, loss and yearning for oneness, Dhondy has rediscovered the Islamic mystic of spiritual awakening whose quest is the key to his universal appeal. Here is at once a great poet of love, both human and divine, and the authentic voice of a moderate Islam—a voice that can resonate in today’s turbulent, fundamentalist times.","brand":"Arcade","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44646114164991,"sku":"9781628726978","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_acf04add-96a6-480d-8771-5480641e13cf.jpg?v=1745756906","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781628726978","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
