The renowned Persian Sufi mystic Mevl na Jal luddin Rumi (1207-1273) is one of the most widely read poets in the world today.

By turns soaring, inspiring, lyrical, entertaining, and always full of profound guidance, Rumi's transcendent words penetrate to the very depths of one's heart, offering eloquent expression for what lies there.
