The translator has provided an excellent format for the book in which he comments and summarizes each section beforehand. The couplets are sparse, sparing and yet eloquently stunning in their naked "icepick in the forehead" descriptions of "The Real" or "The Necessary" or "The Truth." There is only One Sentient Being in the Universe. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars An invaluable translation of a classic Akbari Sufi work *by M***D on Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2021* Mr. Darr's sensitive, precise translation of the poem, informed by his decades of study of the tradition in which Mahmud Shabistari was rooted, including Ibn al Arabi, and informed by the classic Iranian commentaries on the poem, is a real gift. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars In the Pupil of an Eye an Endless Heaven. *by L***E on Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2008* My ancient musty translation is called "The Rose-Garden of Secrets": I despair of anyone who is not attracted by the promise of that title. Now after all these years there's a new, readable version. Have people begun to realise, because of Rûmî's popularity, that Islam has created the world's greatest spiritual literature?This is not a book of stories like Rûmî's "Masnavi" or `Attâr's "Conference of the Birds". It is a poetic exposition of some of the mysteries of Sufism, such as the special meanings given to words like "wine" and "tavern", or words related to human love. Central is the idea, taught by Plato in the West, that Beauty is the signature in this world of Unmanifest Reality, and that Beauty is our path of return.Of course Shabistarî assumes that his readers are practising Muslims and Sufis, so reading him is like listening to a song in an unknown language: you can appreciate the beauty of the voice and the music although you're unable to follow the words.Here's sample (from the old translation):"Pierce the heart of a raindrop and a hundred pure oceans will flow out,Examine one speck of dust and you'll see a thousand creatures.Within a single barleycorn are contained a hundred harvests,In the pith of a millet-seed an entire universe,In an insect's wing an ocean of wonder,In the pupil of an eye an endless heaven". --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/10274508-garden-of-mystery-the-gulshani-i-raz-of-shabistari-classics](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/10274508-garden-of-mystery-the-gulshani-i-raz-of-shabistari-classics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
