This new volume of Rumi's works, the first-ever English translation of his Arabic poems, will be exciting for the newcomer to Rumi's verses as well as to readers already familiar with his mystical philosophy. The poems take the reader on a journey of spiritual exploration, ecstatic union, cruel rejection, and mystic reconciliation. Rumi reveals his soul and welcomes everyone to his spiritual feast.
This dual-language volume opens a treasury of Rumi's mystic thought and startling poetry. His verses pulsate with desire and longing, with sensuality, and with ecstatic celebration. Rumi found in his mystic poetry a vehicle for the expression of the endless spiritual bounties of love. He placed love at the center of his faith and doctrine, and he pronounced it to be the goal of his life and the only form of true worship. This collection is stunningly rendered in English by an award-winning poet and a distinguished translator of Arabic poetry.

About Rumi

Rumi (1207–1273) was a Persian poet and Sufi mystic. He was born at Balkh, in what is now Afghanistan, and died at Konya, in present-day Turkey, where his tomb became a museum. His father, the scholar and theologian Baha' al-Din-e Valad, was called in 1229 to teach in the Seljuk capital, and Rumi eventually took over the post. Meeting Shams al-Din Tabrizi in 1244 remade his work: after Shams disappeared in 1248 he composed the Divan-e Shams-e Tabrizi, more than forty thousand verses, and dictated the 64,000 lines of the Masnavi-ye Ma'navi to the scribe Husam Chelebi. The books offered here are modern English translations.
