From covers: “Rumi is one of the greatest mystic poets of all time. His unique message of love speaks directly to the heart and transcends the boundaries of language and time. These poems, carefully selected from the Divan of Shams (Rumi's collection of 3,000 poems), speak powerfully to the seeker and lover in all of us. Available for the first time in English, these translations from the original Persian are arranged thematically and lead us through the intricacies of love, longing and the quest for truth. Each section is accompanied by Persian calligraphy of several of the poems, as well as evocative paintings by Azima Melita Kolin, reproduced in full color, which are inspired by the poems and have been specially commissioned for the book.” “Jallaludin Rumi was born on 30th September 1207 in Balkh, in modern day Afghanistan. The power of his timeless words has drawn generations of spiritual seekers of all faiths. He speaks from experience, he knows suffering and has gone beyond it to find the ecstasy of love. Rumi's poems fill the sky like bright and clear stars in the desert night. Each poem takes us into a different world, a world filled with hidden music. Maryam Mafi and Azima Melita Kolin's accessible and beautiful translations take the reader on a journey to the heart of Rumi's universal message.”
