~KHIDR IN SUFI POETRY: A SELECTION~Translation & Introduction by Paul SmithKhidr (Khizer, Khadir) is often called: “The Green One” for he was said to have drunk from the Fountain of Immortality and gained Eternal life. He has been identified with Elias, St. George, Phineas, the Angel Gabriel, the companion of Mohammed on a journey which is told in the Koran, viii, 59-8 1, and throughout the literature of Mysticism has appeared to many great seekers who eventually became Perfect Masters.
