For Rumi fear-based religion is poison and his remedy is love-based doctrine–a life journey free of guilt, fear and shame.īarely known in the West as recently as 15 years ago, Rumi is now one of the most widely read poets in America. Rumi also writes about the abolishment of the established fear-based religious orders of the world. A call from an independent soul yearning for true freedom from dogma and hypocrisy. He collection has an all embracing universality. His work covers deeply philosophical and mystical, with poems of fiery soulful expression to passionate love verses filled with yearning and desire. Poetry focusing on varied and diverse topics. During a period of 25 years, he composed over 70,000 verses of poetry. Rumi, the 13th century Persian poet, has been called the greatest mystical poet of any age. For Rumi the life of mystics is a “gathering of lovers, where there is no high or low, smart or ignorant, no proper schooling required.” It seems that the universe brought these two opposing characters (a wealthy nobleman and a poor, wondering, wild holy man) together to remind us that it is impossible to know where your next inspiration may come from or who might aid furthering your growth. Please read our “Rumi & Shams, the Untold Story” below for a more in-depth biography of Rumi and an overview of his unconventional friendship with Shams. These thousands of poems, which include about 2000 in quatrains, are collected in two epic books named, Divan-e Shams-e Tabrizi and Massnavi (Mathnawi). After Shams was murdered by Rumi’s youngest son, due to events that are explained further down on this page, Rumi fell into a deep state of grief and gradually out of that pain outpoured nearly 70,000 verses of poetry. Rumi and Shams stayed together for a short time, about 2 years in total, but the impact of their meeting left an everlasting impression on Rumi and his work. In Rumi’s own words, after meeting Shams he was transformed from a bookish, sober scholar to an impassioned seeker of truth and love. Rumi was a charming, wealthy nobleman, a genius theologian and a brilliant but sober scholar, who in his late thirties met a wandering and wild holy man by the name of Shams.

Rumi’s life story is full of intrigue and high drama mixed with intense creative outbursts. Turkey had not yet formed then and Afghanistan was part of the Khorasan Province in the old Persian Empire. It included all of today’s Iran and Afghanistan also parts of Pakistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkey and Iraq. Iran was called the Persian Empire, a monarchy, and it was quite larger than it is today. However none of these countries as they are today actually existed back then. Today three countries claim him as their national poet: Iran, Turkey and Afghanistan. Rumi was born on the Eastern shores of the Persian Empire on September 30, 1207, in the city of Balkh in what is now Afghanistan and finally settled in the town of Konya, in what is now Turkey. He’s on par with Beethoven, Shakespeare and Mozart. Rumi is one the world’s brightest creative talents. In all of these years I never thought that he would become so popular in the West in such a short time. I began translating Rumi in 1988, and performing his poetry in 1992.
