N2  - Dara Shikoh: Life & Poems translated and introduced by Paul Smith presents the life, thought, and poetry of Dara Shikoh (1615–1659), the eldest son of Mughal emperor Shah Jahan and a key figure in India’s spiritual and literary history. Known for his Sufi inclinations, liberal outlook, and efforts to bridge Hindu–Muslim traditions, Dara Shikoh was both a prince and a poet.

Paul Smith provides a detailed introduction to Dara Shikoh’s biography, his intellectual pursuits, and his tragic end at the hands of his brother Aurangzeb. The book includes English translations of his Persian poems, reflecting themes of love, mysticism, spiritual unity, and universal brotherhood. The collection not only captures Dara Shikoh’s poetic voice but also highlights his role as a seeker of truth and a patron of cultural synthesis
