The Mantle Adorned is a completely new translation of the Burda (Mantle Poem) of Imam Sharaf al-Din al-Busiri (d.1297). Abdal Hakim Murad has consulted the classical commentaries to produce this clear and careful English version. Murad has added to each verse a further verse of poetry by another poet, which expresses a similar sentiment of love for the Blessed Prophet. The book therefore serves as the best collection currently available in English of poems in praise of the Seal of the Messengers, may Allah bless him and give him peace. Poets represented include Rumi, Attar, Ibn Hazm, Nanotvi, Yahya Parkinson, Rilke, and many more.The translation includes a foreword by Professor Recep Sentürk of the Centre for Islamic Studies (ISAM), Istanbul.

Love transforms pleasure into pain. Al-Busiri, The Burda of al-Busiri: The Poem of the Cloak //
What more is there to say about one of the most famous and eloquent poems in Islamic history? As for this edition, it's equally beautiful. The design of each page makes it look like something straight from Ottoman Turkey, and the added poems are also a bonus. I recommend reading the Burda once or twice, then reading the added poems... This book and accompanying CDs were gifted to me. I can understand why - it is beautiful and one of my favourite translations of the Qaseeda Burda. The Arabic calligraphy is beautiful but harder to read. For an easy to read in Arabic version I prefer Aziza Spiker's 'The Burda with The Mudariyya and The Muhammadiya'. .. ! - - - -- .. ! - - - -- .. http://shamela.ws/browse.php/book-977...
