Overview
~*COMPASSIONATE ROSE*~ Ghazals for Meher Baba Paul SmithWhile working on the ghazals of Hafiz and Sadi, Jahan Khatun, Nizami, Obeyd Zakani and many other Persian, Urdu, Turkish & Pushtu Poets for the past 40 years the author often composed ghazals inspired by his Spiritual Master Meher Baba. His earliest ghazals plus other poems inspired by him were published in the volume 'A Bird in His Hand'. The ghazals in this volume were composed while in India staying with Meher Baba's nephews Sohrab & Rustom in Pune in 2004 and on return to Australia over the following two years under difficult health conditions. They are published here in the sequence in which they were written. 124 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.
