RUBAIYAT OF KAMAL ADDIN Translation, Introduction & Notes by Paul Smith Kamal addin Ismail (11721238) known as The Creator of Subtle Thoughts) was the son of the court poet Jamal addin and was one of the last of the great poets of the early days in Isfahan. Both father and son praised their city and the same patrons but Kamal addin considered himself not only a court poet but a Sufi or Dervish. His qasidas in the style of Iraqi were greatly admired and some were said to reach the summit of perfection but it is his many much loved human and divine rubais that his fame now rests upon. Here is the largest number of his rubais ever translated into English. Included in the Introduction the Life and Times of Kamal addin and a history of the rubai and examples by its greatest exponents and a chapter on Sufi Poetry. The correct rhymestructure has been kept and the beauty and meaning of these beautiful, mystical, loving, sometimes satirical fourline poems.
