on Ghazal 3 by Daagh Dehlvi, on March 11To my english speaking eye, there seems to be something missing from this translation..."...an enemy like enemy, a friend like friend"...I have the sense that there is a word or phrase missing, in english, but I cannot be sure since I do not speak or read in the original language. I do however feel the passion of the write...a love that brings as much pain as pleasure, and perhaps that is the passion in itself...I would like to see a deeper translation at another time if possible. Peace, Rhonda

on Conference Of The Birds by Farid al-Din Attar, on January 9This work reminds me of Bunyan's book: "Pilgrim's Progress", where the main character sets off to find God and travels through many trials and temptations along the way. I will seek the original tale to read at my leisure, but the rendering here is a good read. Thanks for placing it here. Peace, Rhonda

on In the Dead of night by Farid al-Din Attar, on January 9This is a wondrous write for me personally, for I love the idea of becoming a bird. It is an interesting take on the 'personality' and actions of Death...I do enjoy this poet. Many thanks to the translators. Peace, Rhonda

on Mystic Silence by Farid al-Din Attar, on January 9This is beautiful and speaks not only of the love between lovers, but the love that should be between all persons; for, if we truly love, there is not one we do not love, and so, there is no 'you' and 'I' or 'us' and 'them'...there is only ONE...Peace, Rhonda
