FAIZI: LIFE & POEMS Translation & Introduction by Paul Smith FAIZI (1547-1595). The work of Faizi, who held the honorary title Malek ol-shoara (king of poets), marks the beginning of the golden age of Indian literature in Persian. This Sufi poet-laureate of Akbar assisted him in his efforts at reform, which were aimed at reconciling Indians of different faiths. In his best known masnavi poem 'Nal and Daman' he reworks a story from the third book of the Mahabharata in accordance with the demands of the masnavi genre. Faizi also wrote works on philosophy, philology, mathematics, medicine, and the history of religion. He helped translate into Persian the Mahabharata, Ramayana, and other works of classical Indian literature. Faizi wrote the commentary of the Koran. Faizi's poems have been collected in a Divan; among them 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'. 120 pages.
