Divan of Bidel Dehlavi

The collected poems of Mirza Abdul-Qadir Bidel, the seventeenth and eighteenth century master of the Indian style of Persian poetry. His ghazals are famous for their intricate imagery and deep mystical and philosophical thought, and he holds a special place in Afghanistan, where his verses have long been read and discussed in gatherings. A book to read slowly and return to often. The text is in Persian (Farsi/Dari).
