Although a large body of the great poetry of the Islamic world has
been translated into English, except for a few fragments, the
poetry of the Isma'ilis is still only accessible in the original.
This anthology should enable lovers of devotional and mystical
poetry to sample the great range and depth of Isma'ili poetry. The
selection spans 1000 years of Isma'ili history, from the time of
the Fatimid caliphate to the present day. It includes both
sophisticated and popular verses from the Isma'ili poets of Arabia,
Africa, Iran, Afghanistan, Central Asia, China, India and Pakistan
composed in Arabic, Persian, Turkish, Burushaski and Urdu. In
addition to the theme of divine love and the virtues of the prophet
and the Immans, the poems present some of the central ideas of the
Isma'ilis and their esoteric interpretation of Islam.
