About the Book

SHAH HUSSAIN (Madhu Lal) A Malamati Sufi of the Punjab: Selected Poems. Translation & Introduction Paul Smith. Shah Hussain (1538-1599), was a Punjabi Sufi poet who is regarded as a pioneer of the kafi form of Punjabi poetry. His father, in his early age, enrolled him in a local school where he started to memorise the Quran. His teacher was Hafiz Abubakar. While he was studying the Tafsir, he suddenly went out of the mosque and abandoned the path of ascetic and stepped into the path of self-blamers and became a self-blamer Sufi (malamati), he started to dance and drink in public, some slandered him, and some had faith in him. Sheikh Madho Lal, the love of Shah Hussain was born in 1575, when for the first time looked at his matchless beauty and fell for him, it was the love at first sight. At the time, Sheikh Madho was 16 years of age and Shah Hussain was 54 years old. Sheikh Madho, at the age of 18 embraced Islam and became a Muslim. Shah Hussain raised him as his vicegerent and became his spiritual master. Sheikh Madho Lal, for the rest of his life, followed the footsteps of Shah Hussain and completely secluded himself from the world and confined himself into the shrine of his master Shah Hussain and at the age of 73 died and was buried next to Shah Hussain. Because of his love for his devotee Shah Hussain is often called 'Shah Madho Lal Hussain'. The correct form of the kafi has been kept in this version of his poems Introduction on his life, Times, Poetry & chapters og Punjabi Sufi Poetry and the Kafi in Punjabi Poetry. Selected Bibliography. Large print (14pt) & Large Format (7"x 10"). 120 pages. Comments on Paul Smith's Translation of Hafiz's '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." Ali Akbar Shapurzman, translator of many mystical works in English into Persian and knower of Hafiz's Divan off by heart. "I was very impressed with the beauty of these books." Dr. R.K. Barz. Faculty of Asian Studies, Australian National University. "Smith has probably put together the greatest collection of literary facts and history concerning Hafiz." Daniel Ladinsky (Penguin Books author of poems inspired by Hafiz).
