SynopsisThe only available translation into English of this beautiful and spiritual classic of Sufi Literature. The Madhumalati dates from the 16th century Indian Islamic tradition. It is both a love story and a religious guide. This is a stunning translation into English verse of this Eastern Hindi poem - this edition includes an incisive and informative introduction and thoroughly researched notes., The mystical romance Madhumalati tells the story of a prince, Manohar, and his love for the beautiful princess Madhumalati. When they are separated they have to endure suffering, adventure, and transformation before they can be reunited and experience true happiness. A delightful love story, the poem is also rich in mystical symbolism and the story of the two lovers represents the stages on the spiritual path to enlightenment. Madhumalati was written in the sixteenth century and it is an outstanding example of Sufi literature in the Indian Islamic tradition. Originally written in a dialect of Eastern Hindi it is here translated for the first time into English verse, with an introduction and notes that explain the poem's religious significance.
