This is a beautiful poem by Molavi from Diwane Shams. Jal?l ad-D?n Mu?ammad R?m? (?????????? ???? ????), (known to the English-speaking world simply as Rumi) (30 September 1207 17 December 1273), was a 13th-century Persian poet, Islamic jurist, theologian, and mystic Sufi of high order. Rumi was born in Balkh, Bactria, in contemporary Afghanistan, which at that time was part of the Persian Empire. He lived most of his life under the Sultanate of Rum, where he produced his great works and died in 1273 CE. He was buried in Konya, current day Turkey. Following his death, his followers and his son Sultan Walad founded the Mawlaw?yah Sufi Order, also known as the Order of the Whirling Dervishes.
