CERTAIN personage asked a devout man what he said of a particular Abid, of whose character others had spoken disrespectfully. He replied, "I see no fault in his exterior, and am ignorant of what is concealed within him. Whomsoever thou seest in a religious habit, consider as a pious and a good man, if you know not what is hidden in his mind: what business hath the Mohtesib with the inside of the house? 7 TALE II. T SAW a Durwaish, who, having placed his X forehead on the threshold of the temple of Mecca, was lamenting and saying: " O gracious and most merciful God, thou knowest what can proceed from the most unjust and ignorant of men, that is fit to be offered unto thee; I implore pardon for my imperfections, since I can have no claim of return for any performance of duty. The wicked repent of their sins: they who know God ask-forgiveness for the imperfectness of their worship. The Abid seeks reward for his obedience, and merchants require the value of their capital stock; but I, who am a servant, have brought hope, not obedience, and am come to beg, not to traffic. Do unto me that which is worthy of thee; and treat me not according to my desert. Whether you slay, or whether you pardon, my face and head are on thy threshold. It is not for a servant to direct: whatsoever thou commandest, I shall perform." At the gate of the Kaba I saw a mendicant who was weeping bitterly, and saying, "I ask not that thou shouldst approve my services; draw the pen of forgiveness over my offences." TALE III.

<p>The Complete DIVAN OF SA'DI Ghazals, Ruba'is, Masnavis, Qit'as & Pand-Nama or Book of WisdomGulistan or Rosegarden & Bustan or Orchard. Translation & Introduction Paul SmithSa'di of Shiraz (1210-1291), a contemporary of Rumi who influenced him, was a Sufi Perfect Master (Qutub) Poet who expressed himself in the ruba'i form as well as hundreds of ghazals in his beautiful Divan that often also contained images from dervish dancing. Sa'di was a great traveller who spent forty years on the road throughout the Middle-East, North Africa and India and many of the incidents he experienced he wrote down in his two most famous works when he finally returned to his beloved birth-place... The Rose Garden (Gulistan) and The Orchard (Bustan). Sa'di's mystical love poetry, his ghazals, although almost unknown in the West, are loved by his fellow-countrymen almost as much as those of Hafiz whom he greatly influenced. Here for the first time in English they can be read in all their beauty and power and spirit. The correct rhyme-structure has been kept as well as the beauty and meaning of many of these unique mystical poems. All of the wonderful 603 ghazals from Sa'di's Badayi and Tayyibat and many of his ruba'is, and some of his masnavis & qit'as and all of his famous couplets from his Pand-Nama (Wise Sayings)& The Gulistan & Bustan have been translated in clear, modern, meaningful English. Introduction: Life & Times & Poetry of Sa'di of Shiraz and his influence on the East and the West and on the form and meaning of the ghazal and the ruba'i and a Sufi Glossary and a Selected Bibliography.
