Ibn al-Farid experienced states of ecstasy and annihilation with God, similar to those experienced by great Sufi masters such as Ibn Arabi, al-Hallaj, and others. They would live in trances that would last for days. Even while awake, Ibn al-Farid would often be unable to hear or see his interlocutor. Ibn al-Farid was preoccupied with poetry for approximately forty years, but his poetry, despite its value, is weak in style, but its meaning is supreme. It contains subtle, profound meanings, many of which can only be understood by those familiar with the language and terminology of Sufism. This collection contains the entirety of Ibn al-Farid’s poetry, arranged alphabetically according to its rhymes. It also provides an explanation of obscure terms.
