Book Description:

This volume presents selected mystical poems from the Persian polymath Fayz Kashani (d. 1091/1681 AH/CE) in Persian and English, with clear explanations that make their deeper meanings accessible without losing depth. Centered on the theme of mystical love, the book explores longing, different intensities of love (maḥabbat, ʿishq, and jaẕbih), mystical symbols, transformation, and the love for the divine Beloved reflected in the mirror of the Perfect Man in language that speaks to both heart and mind. Rooted in a rich spiritual tradition yet written for today’s readers, it offers a blend of poetry, wisdom, and reflection—an entry point into a tradition where poetry is meant not only to be read but lived.
