On September 30th, 1207, Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī, also known as Mawlānā, Mawlawī, was born in the city of Balkh, the capital of Persia (today, located in northern Afghanistan). Rumis's family immigrated to Konya (modern day Turkey) after Persia was invaded by the Mongol army. He passed away in December of 1273. 

He grew up in a very religious, Islamic family. After he met the Shams of Tabriz (wandering dervish), his life journey takes a turn. It was this meeting that changed his life's course to becoming a Sufi poet. He is admired as one of the most spiritual and mystic poets in history. He wrote Masnavi Ma'navi which includes more than 20,000 lines of didactic poetry and Divan-e Shams-e Tabrizi which contains more than 40,000 verses. 


Rumi is a deeply spiritual thinker; his poems are very deep on the realm of spirituality. It is an invitation of love and unity to all souls and beings. Especially these days, with all the division we face, his words need to be heard more to shape harmonies.

O lovers, lovers it is time
to set out from the world.
I hear a drum in my soul's ear
coming from the depths of the stars.

Our camel driver is at work;
the caravan is being readied.
He asks that we forgive him
for the disturbance he has caused us,
He asks why we travelers are asleep.

Everywhere the murmur of departure;
the stars, like candles
thrust at us from behind blue veils,
and as if to make the invisible plain,
a wondrous people have come forth.
