Poetry
عشق و جوانی
Not translated into English
Haidari Wujudi Panjshiri · 1970
Synopsis
Eshq o javāni, Love and Youth, is the earliest of the books cited by the biographers of Haidari Wujudi: it appeared in 1349 of the solar calendar, that is 1970, and opens a series of some fifteen collections, up to the divan gathered in 2015. Its author writes in Persian a poetry that is mostly mystical; in his ghazals, a study by the University of Balkh finds more than a thousand metaphors of love, fire first, then the garden and spring.
Context
The two Persian notices consulted, an obituary of 2020 and the account of an evening devoted to him during his lifetime, place this book at the head of the list, before a verse guide to the Panjshir in 1351 and Naqsh-e omid in 1355. Sāya-ye ma'refat, in the mid-nineties, is the most reprinted.
Who it is for
Poems in Persian, untranslated. It helps to know a little Rumi, on whom the author commented for sixteen years.
Prizes and reception
No known prize. Balkh's study counts him among the most prominent contemporary Persian poets.
