Two poets, one river of devotion. In sixteenth-century India, at the crossroads of Mughal power and the bhakti movement, two Muslim poets wrote verses that became treasures of Hindi devotional literature. Abdur Rahim Khan-i-Khanan, a nobleman and general in Emperor Akbar's court, composed dohas of worldly wisdom and quiet faith. Raskhan, who left his home for the sacred groves of Vrindavan, poured his heart into poems of Krishna's play and the longing of divine love. This edition renders their immortal couplets and songs in clear, present-day English, faithful to the meaning and spirit of the originals. With an introduction, glossary, and key passages, it invites today's readers into a world where wisdom and love meet. Part of The Founding Texts Library.
