Reza Saberi translates over 1,500 quatrains from more than one
hundred Iranian poets since the tenth century. In addition to the
quatrains of better known poets such as Hafez, Sa'di, Rumi and
Khayyam many of the poets and their poems have been translated into
English for the first time. A rub is a poem in four lines, which is
complete in itself and expresses a single feeling or thought in a
very concise and elegant language. Their subjects include divine
love, the ecstasy of love, mystical knowledge, and the nature of
life and existence. The tradition of sufism, the Irano-Islamic
mysticism that advocates the oneness and wholeness of all things
and the unity of existence (vahdate vjud), is conveyed in the
majority of the poems. Reza Saberi has tried to be as faithful to
the original text as is possible in English. His translation can be
of special interest for speakers of Persian who try to communicate
the sense of beauty of their poetry in the English language. The
bilingual format is also very useful for students of Persian
language and literature.
