Musyawarah Burung

This Android application is an explanation of the book entitled Bird Deliberation by Faridu' Din Attar. In Pdf format.

Attar's work, which in its original language is entitled Mantiqu't-Thair and is a poem with a religious mystical character, was apparently written in the second half of the twelfth century AD. Since that time, every few years a new edition has been published in the countries of the Middle and Near East.

The Indonesian translation of the work was done from the English translation of C. S. Nott, entitled The Conference of the Birds.

Initially, Nott worked on the translation mainly for his own benefit and that of several of his friends; but because it was the most complete translation available in English at that time, it seems to have appealed to a wider public. So The Conference of the Birds was published for the first time in 1954 in London and subsequently the book underwent several reprints.

In translating into English, for the most part Nott used Garcin de Tassy's translation in French which was in prose form and which was done from a Persian text which he compared with texts in Arabic, Hindu and Turkish (Paris, 1863).

Apart from that, Nott also used sources of explanation from texts in Persian through his friend, a Sufi, as well as from existing English translations. Of the latter he used three translations, all of which were greatly abridged.

The first is Edward Fitzgerald's translation, rhyming and somewhat sentimental; the second, Ghulam Muhammad Abid Saikh's translation, is too literal, consisting of 1170 verses from 4674 masnavi in ​​the original language (India, 1911); the third (and best of all) is Masani's translation, in prose, although only about half of the original was translated (Mangalore, India, 1924). These three translations have long been out of print.

Garcin de Tassy's translation is complete, and, as he says, “as literal as I can manage to make it understandable.” Tassy also maintains the fragrance, spirit and teachings of Attar's poetry.
