MU'IN UD-DIN CHISHTI: LIFE & POEMS Translation & Introduction Paul Smith Mu'in ud-din Chishti (1141-1230) also known as Gharib Nawaz or 'Benefactor of the Poor', is the most famous Sufi saint of the Chishti Order of the Indian Subcontinent. In his book Pre Mughal Persian in Hindustan, Muhammad 'Abdu'l Ghani states... "He was the greatest lyric poet of his age. His style is exuberant and precise at once. His poems are a storehouse of transcendental thoughts beautifully ordered and forcefully expressed. There is always a sense of pious serenity and joy in his verses that are teeming with Divine Love... his poetry resembles closely that of Hafiz... He takes his readers along with him solely to spiritual ecstasy and gives them a peep into the ethereal world..." This is a selection of his ghazals translated in the correct form and meaning.
