Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi (1208-1273) was a 13th-century Persian poet, a Sufi mystic and one of the greatest spiritual masters and poetical intellects. Rumi is a mysterious and provocative poet. He was a great preacher and scholar of philosophy, logic, and divine law. His mystical epics, the Mathnawi and the Divan, are widely considered among the best poetry ever written and have been translated into many languages.
Mathnawi (Or Masnavi) is one of the best known and most influential works of Persian literature and it also has acquired immense popularity in the west. The Mathnawi is a series of six books of poetry that together amount to around 25,000 verses. It is a spiritual writing that teaches Sufis how to reach their goal of being in true love with God. The English translation of the Mathnawi appearing in this book was prepared by one of the greatest Rumi scholars and translators in the English language, Reynold Alleyne Nicholson.
