hi ,I liked to say thank you for all that U have done to make the others familiar with this great poet.I agree with that afghan person which wrote about international character of rumi ,when we are proud of having Rumi as an Iranian poet,we should also be ashamed of losting him and letting him to go to another place!Anyway Rumi's personality in his turning point into Music and poem is interesting.

if you are looking to purchase a collection of rumi's poems go to http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3583518464&category=29369&sspagename=STRK%3AMESSE%3AIT&rd=1 i am selling a brand new book because i have no interest in Rumi's poetry. Check it out! It's a great buy. I do not feel ashamed to post this, since it is blatent advertising for my own sake. I truly believe this book is in the interest of Rumi fans. Sorry if I have offended

Hey! Shahriar Shahriari, how do you know that, "God in God�s time reveals God�s face." Jeez! Your poems on bread and wheat are soooooooo GOOD! My God! I'll remember that line of yours, if nothing else, something like, 'truth, beauty, kindness, etc., are useless unless accompanied by grace.' Wow!!!!!

When you say, "When of grace there�s no trace," you mean to say God's grace? But then how do you know that? What did God reveal to YOU?

Dear Shahriar, Not only do you have full mastery of the Persian language and literature, but you also have a full command of the English language. Who could be better suited to translate the best poems of our best poets? I�ve read many a translation of these same works. I�m convinced that yours is second to none. Yet you had the humility to admit that much of the beauty of the poetry, being so intertwined with the underlying language, is lost by the mere act of translating it to another language. Your intent was simply to provide a glimpse and a taste of our rich literary heritage. As you know, these poems are not easy to understand even in Persian for Persians. With your translations, I�ve been able to go back and forth between the Persian and the English versions of these poems to get a better grasp of their essence. Had it not been for your contribution, I could not have appreciated and enjoyed these poems to the extent that I now can. You�ve certainly brought it to life for me. I could never thank you enough for your contribution. Yet I must start from somewhere: Thank you for all your efforts. More importantly, I�m grateful to those synchronous events and circumstances, which put a person of your literary caliber, poetic talent, and linguistic skills to do the job that you�ve done. I�m sure that you�ve enjoyed the endeavor yourself. You�ve also made it possible for your countrymen to understand, appreciate, and enjoy some of the best legendary works of their culture. Further, you�ve brought some of the most illuminating and enlightening works of the ancient world to the 21st century�s English speaking folks. If Rumi, Hafez, and Khayyam were here today, they�d have praised you for bringing their work to as many people as you have and across the language and cultural barriers. Finally, your own series of poems entitled: �From Wheat to Bread� speaks powerfully of a pleasant and skillful poet in his own rights. Thanks for sharing it. As you can see, you�ve done plenty in such a short span of time already. You�re truly a gem on the rich crown of the Persian culture. It�s an honor for me to be your countryman. Siroos Safaii (ssafaii@att.net)

many years ago, i was introduced to rumi, by my friend paula ... and although, i was at the time more into qabbala ... i have reexamined rumi, of late and realize the beauty and magic of the word ... i understand as i too, have had great love and experienced a very major nirvanic experience as well, as other mystical experiences in my life, i too know joy, and have tasted of the beauty of life

no translations would suffice the original essence of the poems of Rumi. how ever we can achieve something very close. the website provides a good source.the attempt to collect the works of the greatest poet of all times, online is sinerely appreciated.

I have many translations of Rumi's books, and can honestly say that none of them have done it justice. Know that your time and effort for such wonderful work you've done is appreciated greatly.

It was not my thirst which followed me for the Maulana Rumi's work but coincidence though. I read a small saying of Rumi over the "Enigma" Cd that lead me to search his great work. I really appreciate this web site for English translation of his work.
