MANSUR HALLAJ: LIFE & POEMS Translation & Introduction Paul Smith The Perfect Master, poet & martyr, Husayn Mansur al-Hallaj (died 919), was born in Shiraz and tortured and executed in Baghdad for declaring: "I am the Truth (Anal Haq)."

The Introduction contains: The Life, Times and Poems of Mansur Hallaj, Sufis & Dervishes: Their Art & Use of Poetry, Selected Bibliography, his qit'as, ghazals, ruba'is, qasidas in the correct form and meaning.
