Her "As Through a Veil ~ Mystical Poetry in Islam" has a line that goes as follows "The contents of mystical poetry between Istanbul and Delhi are therefore so similar that one can almost translate a Sindhi poem by Sachal Sarmast into Turkish and take it for an original verse by Yunus Emre, or transplant some Bektashi verses into Panjabi and declare them to be compositions of Bullhe Shah. The feeling of the essentional Unity of Being permeates all of them equally strongly" The book would be useful for those interested in a historical perspective of mystical poetry especially Sindhi, Seraiki, Panjabi, Bengali & Pashto. Major portion of the book covers Rumi & arabic mystical poetry This book is available at Liberty Store and printed by Oneworld Oxford Rumi being one of the Sufi’s that Annemarie Schimmel was an authority on, and Rumi being a common factor between most sufi poets and scholars in the sub-continent [Shah Latif travelled with Rumi's Masnavi whereever he went], it does not surprise me that the hugely talented lady, fluent in Sindhi, was affectionately referred to as Maee Annemarie by sindhi scholars like the late Mumtaz Mirza and artists like Alan Faquir.
