ruba'i and most poets that followed, especially Sana'i, Nizami,
'Attar, Rumi and Hafiz. Here are 188 of his poems translated into

Sa'id and a history of the ruba'i and examples by its greatest
exponents. Selected Bibliography. The correct rhyme-structure is
kept as well as the beauty and meaning of these immortal four-line
poems. 232 pages. COMMENTS ON PAUL SMITH'S TRANSLATION OF HAFIZ'S
