The Secret Rose Garden
of Sa'd Ud Din Mahmud Shabistari, Translated by Florence Lederer
It is nearly seven hundred years since Mahmūd planted his garden with roses of Love and Adoration, of Reason and of spiritual Illumination. Since then many have wandered there, lingering in the secret paths and plucking the scented blossoms to carry back into the world of shadows and unreality. What is the fadeless colour of these Roses? What is their lasting grace of form, and what perfumed attar from them lingers on through the ages?The poem opens with the statement of the sole existence of the One Real Being, and of the illusion of this world's mirage.
