Equally immersed in theology and social thought, music and politics, his songs have won devoted followers form every walk of life through the past five centuries. He was a Muslim by name, but his ideas stand at the intersection of Hinduism and Islam, Bhatia and Yoga, religion and secularism. And his words were always marked by rhetorical boldness and conceptual subtlety.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book offers Vinay Dharwadker's sparkling new translations of one hundred poems, drawing for the first time on major sources in half a dozen literary languages.
