The essential Rumi =: Ashʻār va andīshahʹhā-yi zharf-i Mawlavī (Rūmī)

This definitive collection offers an immersive encounter with the spiritual legacy of Mawlavī, Jalāl al-Dīn Muḥammad, presenting his poetry to a modern audience through the acclaimed English translations of Coleman Barks. Published in Tihrān by Bahjat, the volume, titled Ashʻār va andīshahʹhā-yi zharf-i Mawlavī, compiles essential selections from the poet's vast oeuvre, including the Mathnawī and Dīvān. Barks, working alongside distinguished scholars like John Moyne and A. J. Arberry, renders the complex imagery of 13th-century Īrān into accessible, resonant verse. The text navigates the profound landscapes of Sufi mysticism, articulating the pain of separation from the Divine and the ecstatic joy of spiritual reunion, affirming Mawlavī's enduring stature in world literature.
