Description

QUTUB SHAH: LIFE & POEMS... Translation & Introduction by Paul Smith. Muhammad Quli Qutub Shah (1565-1611) was the fifth sultan of the Qutub Shahi dynasty of Golconda in South India. He founded the city of Hyderabad. Qutub Shah was a scholar of Arabic and Persian. He wrote poetry in Urdu and Persian. His poetry has been compiled into a Divan of 50,000 couplets comprising ghazals, masnavis, qasidas, ruba'is, and qit'as. Qutub Shah had the distinction of being the first Urdu poet and is credited with introducing a new sensibility into prevailing genres of Persian/Urdu poetry. He was also a mystic or Sufi poet and a devout Shi'ite Muslim. Love of Mohammed and women are the major two themes in his poetry. The love story of Qutub Shah with the ravishingly beautiful Bhagmati has been a subject of curiosity for ages now. This is the largest translation of his poems in English in the correct forms.
