F A I Z I Sufi Poet Laureate of Akbar Selected Poems (Large Print & Large Format Edition) Translation & Introduction by Paul Smith The work of Faizi (1547-1595), marks the beginning of the golden age of Indian literature in Persian. This Sufi poet-laureate of Akbar assisted him in reforms that were aimed at reconciling Indians of different faiths. In his best known poem 'Nal and Daman' he reworks a story from the Mahabharata. Faizi also wrote works on philosophy, philology, mathematics, medicine, and the history of religion. Faizi's poems are qasidas, ghazals, and ruba'is that were composed in the traditions of classical Persian poetry and are translated here in the correct form for the first time. His ghazals show the influence of Hafiz and Jami and Fighani and are early examples of the 'Indian Style'. Introduction: Mughal Sufi Emperor Akbar, his Sufi Poet-Laureate Faizi & his Brother, Akbar's Biographer, Abdu Fazl; Life & Times & Poetry of Faizi; Sufism in Poetry; The Main Forms in Faizi's Poetry; Other Poets at Akbar's Court with Faizi. Large Print (18pt) & Large Format (8"x 10") 298 pages.
