What is Hafiz, Drunk With God: Selected Odes about?

From the author of Hafiz, the Voice of God; Khusro, the Indian Orpheus; and Ghalib, the Indian Beloved, comes this stunning collection of nearly three hundred selected and merry Eastern odes by the Persian wordsmith Hafiz, who was able to capture both the human as well as the divine. In Hafiz, Drunk with God, Khalid Hameed Shaida returns to the great mystic poet who left as a body of work nearly six hundred poems of praise and passion. Hafiz was certain that love conquered all, testing the complicated heartstrings of love and beauty with each line and every stanza. In Shaida's interpretation, Hafiz ultimately takes a wonderfully contemporary beat, yet the original Eastern rhythm is preserved. Each poem illustrates how challenging it is to separate the individual from his or her godlike nature-and beauty from love. Reflecting on man and God, this enduring collection is exhilarating, relevant, and essential.
