Another Important Sufi Poet, Mahmud Shabistari (c. 1288 - c.1340 ce)

Mahmud Shabistari was one of the great Sufi poets of the Persian tradition. His most famous work is the Gulshan-i Raz (The Mystic Rose Garden). I have selected some poems from a 19th century English translation to introduce us to the spiritual poetry Shabistari was known for. Click HERE for a link to the Shabistari page at dianwu.org.
