Jalal al-Din Rumi (1207–1273) was a Persian poet, Sufi mystic, and philosopher whose works have inspired spiritual seekers for centuries. His verses, drawn from the Masnavi and Divan-e Shams-e Tabriz, explore divine love, transformation, and unity. Rumi’s influence on Sufism and world literature remains unparalleled, making him one of history’s most cherished poets.
