Zustand: New.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. The Bhakti saint-poet Kabir's sakhis/ dohas (couplets) have been a source of wisdom to people across the spectrums of caste, class and creed. His sakhis are his conversations with God, with himself and with us in everyday colourful tongue that leave a mark on readers of all ages. Several translations have appeared until now but this book by Chandan Sinha is a first of its kind. In his Foreword, John Stratton Hawley calls this a 'strikingly original book' that translates the sakhis in rhymeas in the originalwhich is easy enough 'in Hindi, but it's very much harder in English.'

But, today, he is remembered primarily as a poet, a fact evident in his mausoleum in Delhi, now partially restored, which introduces him thus: 'Rahim was famous for his dohas and Persian translation of the Ramayana.' Rahim's life saw wild swings of fate; he knew glory and ignominy, power and insignificance, and above all, loss.

And four centuries later, his dohas, or couplets, are still invoked, still on the tongue of ordinary folk. This thoughtfully compiled volume is the first substantial body of translations of Rahim's dohas, comprising more than half of the 290 dohas he has written. Chandan Sinha's translation breaks with the modern tendency to use free verse, working instead with meter and rhyme to strongly evoke the original, especially its memorability.
