GHAZALS INSPIRED BY THOSE OF THE GREAT SUFI POETS Paul Smith In 1974 Australian poet Paul Smith began a 12 year journey translating his acclaimed Divan of Hafiz (many ‘greats’ say the world’s finest poet). To do this he had to master in English the ancient form of the ghazal in which Hafiz was considered the ‘Master’. So, for the first time in the English language he composed his own ghazals in the real form and content (others had done variations on it) and would continue to do so for the following forty years, often inspired by Hafiz and many great Sufi poets that he would put into beautiful, correct rhyming English… all Master poets of this wonderful, mystical, most ancient and most difficult form of poetry. He would also create a number of books of Anthologies of the ghazal from Adam to the latest. Here are more than 230 of his own ghazals inspired by the first couplets of his translations of ghazals from the greatest Sufi Master Poets from Hazrat ‘Ali (598-661) to Iqbal (1873-1938).
