Rumi, Fountain of Fire

75 poems translated from the original Persian by Nader Khalili

«you are forever

my shining sun and

i am like this poem

restless with hopes and fears»

Rumi's message transcends the limitation of language and the boundaries of time. Human beings were born for unlimited freedom and infinite bliss, and their birthright is within their grasp. But in order to reach it, they must surrender to love. What makes Rumi's expression of this message different from other expressions is his extraordinary directness and uncanny ability to employ images drawn from everyday life.

Nader Khalili has been able to bring out the fact that Rumi's message has practical and concrete relevance to our everyday world. Beauty, Rumi knows, is a profound need of the human soul, because God is beautiful and the source of all beauty, and God is the soul's only real need. Nader has been preforming a major human service by bringing beauty into architectural forms. In this volume he illustrates his versatility by bringing it into linguistic forms as well.

Quotes

  • Lliahas quoted9 years ago
    only you
    i choose
    among the entire world
    is it fair
    of you
    letting me be unhappy
    my heart
    is a pen
    in your hand
    it is all
    up to you
    to write me happy or sad
    i see only
    what you reveal
    and live as you say
    all my feelings
    have the color
    you desire to paint
    from the beginning
    to the end
    no one but you
    please make
    my future
    better than the past
    when you hide
    i change
    to a Godless person
    and when you
    appear
    i find my faith
