PRINCE DARA SHIKOH & HIS NIECE, PRINCESS ZEB-UN-NISSA (MAKHFI) Two Sufi Poet-Martyrs under the Fundamentalist Mughal Emperor of India, Aurangzeb Lives & Selected Poems Translation & Introduction Paul Smith Dara Shikoh (1615-1659) was the oldest son of Emperor Shah Jahan of Mughal India and was known to be a loving husband, a good son and loving father anf Sufi uncle to his neice 'Makhfi'. He was a fine poet, his poems having the influence of Sufism to which he was dedicated. He used 'Qadiri' as his takhallus or pen-name. His Divan of ghazals, ruba'is and qasidas in Persian was not the only work he left us, his five prose works on Sufism and mysticism are popular in India even today. His Majma al-Bahrain or The Mingling of the Two Oceans (included as an appendix) is an explanation of the mystical sameness of Sufism and Vedanta. He also translated the Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita and Yoga-Vasishta into Persian. He was defeated after leading an uprising against his cruel, fundamentalist brother Emperor Aurangzeb and was brutally killed in 1659. This is the largest translation of his poems into English. Introduction: Life, Times & Works of Dara Shikoh, Sufi-Poets Who Knew & Influenced him, Sufis & Dervishes: Their Art and Use of Poetry, Two of the Poetic Forms Used by Dara Shikoh & ''Makhfi'. Four Appendixes including Introduction to his trans. to the Upanishads and exhibition of paintings on his life. Makhfi (1638-1702) pen-name meaning 'concealed', was Zeb-un-Nissa the beautiful and talented oldest daughter of the strict Muslim Emperor of India, Aurangzeb. She was imprisoned for 20 years for her Sufi views and conspiring with a brother (Dara Shikoh) against him. Her ghazals and ruba'is in Persian are deep, spiritual and at times truly heartbreaking. The correct forms and spiritual meaning are preserved in this large selection of both unique poets poetry. Introduction on her Life & Times, Selected Bibliography.
