'Attar is seen with Sana'i and Rumi (who he met and influenced) as one of the three most important Sufi Poet-Masters of the 13th century. He composed over forty books mainly in the epic \u003ci\u003emasnavi \u003c\/i\u003eform of rhyming couplets, his most famous being \u003ci\u003eThe Book of God\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Conference of the Birds.\u003c\/i\u003e He also composed many powerful mystical poems in the \u003ci\u003eghazal\u003c\/i\u003e form that greatly influenced Hafez and all who came later in the 14th century and afterwards. Hafez is still seen as the ultimate master of this most difficult and beautiful of all forms of poetry. Here for the first time is a selection of 400 of each poet's \u003ci\u003eghazals\u003c\/i\u003e in the correct-rhyme structure with the beauty and meaning of these immortal poems.
