Sarmad and His Rubaiyat
Historically Sarmad is a shadowy figure who lived and was martyred at the time of the early Mughal emperors in 17th century India. Despite the opposition of the orthodox clergy and the political machinations of the royal court, his powerful personality and profound rubaiyat (4 line verses carrying a single sustained thought) in Persian, brought him popular acclaim at the time and a continuing reverence over the centuries. He shunned the world and sought God alone in an uncompromising way. Dr Sharib draws from the limited historical sources available to provide an inspiring introduction to Sarmad's life and the complete 318 verses presented here in English translation from the original Persian.
Perfect bound paperback, 112 pages, b&w original illustrations by Jamiluddin Morris, photographs and some verses in original Persian script. Glossary. Published in 1994 in the UK.
