Product Description
Product Description
This book contains 180 translations of Rumi's short devotional poems, or quatrains. Shiva's versions are based on his own carefully documented translation of Rumi from the original Persian. Drawing from his study of more than 2000 of Rumi's poems, the translator has chosen his own favourites, presenting a faithful cross-section of the poet's many moods -- from passion to adoration. The result is a text to delight, intrigue and inspire.

An ideal introduction for western readers
17 Feb 2001
Format:Paperback
Enhanced with a foreword by Deepak Chopra, Sharhram Shiva's translation of quatrains from the Persian in Rumi: Thief Of Sleep will prove an ideal introduction for western readers to the inspiring, memorable poetry of Rumi. 1828UT: How long will you think about this painful life?/How long will you think about this harmful world?/The only thing it can take from you is your body./Don't say all this rubbish and stop thinking.
