Oxford world's classicsIncludes bibliographical references.Rumi's 'Masnavi' is widely recognised as the greatest Sufi poem ever written, and has often been called the 'Koran in Persian'. This updated translation of the classic work remains faithful to the original text, and also includes notes for readers who are new to Rumi.'The pen would smoothly write the things it knew But when it came to love it split in two, A donkey stuck in mud is logic's fate - Love's nature only love can demonstrate.' Rumi's Masnavi is widely recognized as the greatest Sufi poem ever written, and has been called 'the Koran in Persian'. The thirteenth-century Muslim mystic Rumi composed his work for the benefit of his disciples in the Sufi order named after him, better known as the whirling dervishes. In order to convey his message of divine love and unity he threaded together entertaining stories and penetrating homilies. Drawing from folk tales as well as sacred history, Rumi's poem is often funny as well as spiritually profound. Jawid Mojaddedi's sparkling new verse translation of Book One is consistent with the aims of the original work in presenting Rumi's most mature mystical teachings in simple and attractive rhyming couplets.Oxford world's classics (Oxford University Press)Sufi poetry, PersianElectronic books.lcshSufi poetry, Persian.891.5511Jalal al-Din RumiMaulana,1207-1273.1248528Mojaddedi J.
