This volume brings together verses attributed to Baba Farid with a brief account of his life and a glimpse of the period in which he lived. The poems, presented in English translation from the original Gurmukhi, are identified in the source as verses preserved in the Adi Granth. The collection also places them alongside themes of spiritual belief, practice, and moral perspective, offering a point of entry into Baba Farid’s place within Sikh and Sufi traditions. The publisher description notes that questions about his identity in the scripture remain debated, while keeping the focus on the verses themselves.

Book overview

This book is a collection of Baba Farid's verses, a brief sketch of his life, and a glimpse into the times he lived in. The verses, enshrined in the holy Sikh scripture, the Adi Granth, have been translated from the original Gurmukhi script. Irrespective of the debate concerning the true identity of Baba Farid in the holy Granth, the verses are rare pearls of spiritual wisdom that rise above such mundane considerations. They shed light on the beliefs, spiritual practices and moral perspective of one of the greatest Sufi saints of all times and must therefore be held in great reverence.
