THE BOOK OF MAJNUN Translation Introduction Paul Smith Majnun was a real person! Qays Ibn al-Mulawwah (Majnun=’madman) was a youth, a Bedouin poet in the seventh century of the Bani Amir tribe in the Najd desert in Arabia. He fell in love with Layla from the same tribe whom he was denied. (It is said that Shakespeare was inspired by their tale for Romeo Juliet from their tragic love story). Most of his recorded poetry was composed before his descent into love-madness (mast) then through a Perfect Master… his spiritual unification with his beloved. Nizami’s famous telling of their tale came from these collected poems (Divan) and other sources. It is here translated into the correct form of the masnavi. Many other Persian, Turkish and Urdu poets imitated him or wrote their own versions of the story of the height of human love that became Divine and a selection of them are translated in this book. Here in the form of the qit’as in which they were composed, is the largest collection of Majnun’s immortal poems translated into English. Included are four Appendixes, Introduction on his Life Times and chapters on Arabic Poetry and the Qit’a. Selected Bibliography. Large format paperback 7” x 10” 336 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. If he comes to Iran I will kiss the fingertips that wrote such a masterpiece inspired by the Creator of all.” Dr. Mir Mohammad Taghavi (Dr. of Literature) Tehran. “Superb translations. 99% Hafiz 1% Paul Smith.” Ali Akbar Shapurzman, translator and knower of Hafiz’s Divan off by heart. “Smith has probably put together the greatest collection of literary facts and history concerning Hafiz.” Daniel Ladinsky (Penguin Books author).
