MANSUR HALLAJ Selected Poems of the Sufi Martyr Translation & Introduction Paul Smith The Perfect Master, poet & martyr, Mansur Hallaj , was born near Shiraz and tortured and executed in Baghdad for declaring: "I am the Truth ." Much has been written about his famous statement, but few of his powerful, often mysteries and always deeply conscious and spiritual poems in Arabic have been translated before from his Divan into English, and in the poetic form in which they were composed. Now here they are! Included is The Tawasin. 'Written in rhymed Arabic prose... it sets forth a doctrine of saintship-a doctrine founded on personal experience and clothed in the form of a subtle yet passionate dialectic.'

The Introduction contains: The Life, Times and Works of Mansur Hallaj, The Perfect Master , 'Anal-Haq' or 'I am the Truth' of Mansur Hallaj, Four Master Poets of Baghdad who influenced Hallaj, Sufis & Dervishes: Their Art & Use of Poetry.
