An Anthology of Translated Religious & Literary Texts

An Anthology of translated Religious & Literary Texts.

Authors: Dr Hossein Vahid Dastjerdi & Bahador Sadeghi

“All Adam’s sons are limbs of one another

Each of the self same substance as his brother;

So while one member suffers aches and grief,

The other members cannot win relief”

Hafiz and Rumi whose poetry abounds in ambiguities and mystic speculations, would undoubtedly make translators face far more obstacles. The evidence of the past masterly achievements indicate that a well-versed translator enjoying poetic taste can achieve this end with the necessary literary features and devices of the source text kept intact, and a new version incorporating all the mentioned missing points in the analysed English translations are offered for further critical scrutiny.
