They are produced anew, line by line, in direct and faithful engagement with the original Persian/Arabic text. No wording—not even a single phrase or letter—has been taken or adapted from any pre-existing translation in any language. The only sources used are the original Persian/Arabic text (from respected critical editions). Our sole aim is to offer fresh, accurate, and aesthetically refined renderings that remain as close as possible to the spirit, meaning, and beauty of the original.|-|
