Khan, Inayat and Jessie Duncan Westbrook (ed and tr.) Hindustani Lyrics Sufi Publishing Society 1919. Stupendous translations from a shamefully unpopularized literature, intentionally ambiguous as to whether the beloved is human or divine, these Urdu translations use the feminine though Urdu convention spoke male to male. [Mazhar]

Knappert, Jan An Anthology of Swahili Love Poetry Univ. Of California Press 1972. Outstanding, plainspoken, heartfelt, well-done. A culture unusually preoccupied with shame of rejection.

'Madrigal"
Dear, when I did from you remove,
I left my joy, but not my love;
That never can depart.
It neither higher can ascend,
Nor lower bend.
Fixed in the center of my heart,
As in his place,
And lodge'd so, how can it change,
Or you grow strange?
Those are earth's properties and base.
Each where, as the bodies divine,
Heaven's lights and you to me will shine.
Edward Herbert, lord of Cherbury (1583-1648) (1608) [Ault1]
