Proposal to delete part of page I think it would be reasonable to delete the text below There is contemporary Rubaiyat is by the Iranian poet SALAH AL DIN IBN BIN DEEN called The Rubaiyat of SALAH AL DIN IBN BIN DEEN This Rubaiyat uses a number of patterns ie AABA AAAA This Rubaiyat uses erotic images to explore a range of mystical experiences The use of erotic imagery was commonly used by Sufis in Sufi poetry SALAH AL DIN IBN BIN DEEN is well within this Sufi tradition Thy red flushed lips pouting moon flower Clutch the bee in thy humid bower Entangled deep he cries for more As thy wines nectar on him shower Oh cup bearer bring thy wine don t refrain Up lift thy porphyry cup that I may drain My lips to thy lips jar Lips on cups rim I sip again and again Up turn thy cup cup bearer turns Thy wine hotter than Karkhiya burns The wine drips fromst thy hole like molten glass It rim froths with bubbles in my lips churns The text above may or may not be truthful in its claims of the Persian poet s existence in any case the poet and translator are both non notable as far as I can tell the poetry furthermore is quite bad at least in English I don t know about the putative Persian and the explanatory sentences don t inspire confidence in the writer s clarity of thought The use was commonly used Sufis used this technique in Sufi poetry Why not delete it all If we do include it the passage we quote from the new Rubaiyat should not be three times longer than our quotation from Fitzgerald s Omar s 65 213 77 129
