Soul of Love — Sixty-four ghazals of Rumi, Persian with English translation (EPUB + PDF) Price: 5.00 USD

Soul of Love is a selection of sixty-four ghazals from the Divan Shams of Rumi, chosen for readers who want a first, direct encounter with the poet: songs of love, longing and spiritual devotion, written after the disappearance of his teacher and companion Shams of Tabriz.

Each Persian couplet appears in the original, followed immediately by its English translation, line by line, so a reader of either language can follow the verse in the other. Every poem keeps its number in the Divan, so that a reader moved by one ghazal can find its neighbours in the complete nine-volume bilingual edition.

Selected and translated by Yahya Nazer. A short preface in English and Persian introduces the Divan and the bilingual method.

You receive the book in two formats: EPUB (Apple Books, Thorium, any e-reader app) and PDF (opens anywhere).
