Mewlana had been spontaneously composing ghazals (Persian poems), and these had been collected in the Divan-i Kabir or Diwan Shams Tabrizi. Rumi found another companion in Salaḥ ud-Din-e Zarkub, a goldsmith. After Salah ud-Din's death, Rumi's scribe and favorite student, Hussam-e Chalabi, assumed the role of Rumi's companion.

I love this book. I love this book. I. Love. This. Book.I have had it for a long time and I pick it up every so often and find myself flipping back and forth through the pages, and before I know it an hour has past. The poetry and illustrations are a perfect mix. Alone Rumi can be overwhelming, but with images it is much easier to absorb.

'In the orchard and rose garden

Some of these illustrations are so wonderful and amazing. And yet, to me at least, the poetry itself is so evocative that some of the pictures, lovely as they are, actually limit the images already springing forth from my mind. But some are so wonderful.
I should read this book more often.

This is sort of a trippy way of reading rumi. The visuals add to the overall experience of the poem, but they do overpower the small typeface this book uses for most of the poems.
I think I like the poem The Guest House best from this collection.

'Out beyond ideas of wrong-doing and right-doing there is a field. I'll meet you there.'
This is my favorite verse from 'The Illuminated Rumi', a beautifully translated and illustrated edition of selected verses by the 13th-century Persian poet. Coleman Barks and Michael Green, respectively, did real justice to the poems contained in this collection.

Though these illuminated pages are based on the versions of Rumi by Barks, each page is worth a diving into to swim in beauty, and the glorious visual imagery alone takes you closer, closer, closer...
Coleman Barks is the only translator I will read from now into the hereafter.
Translation of poem and concept of profound mystical experinces, often strips the words of its original cultural value and meaning, leaving a mere conceptual shadow of the orginal word.

Always inspiring to see how other's visualize the essence of Rumi's message... this is a beautifully illustrated work, yet the words themselves paint the greatest pictures!
Beautiful! Astonishing illustrations, coupled with Rumi's poetry.

I always surf the internet for inspirational quotes and I always find Rumi's quotes beautiful. But I didn't love this book, not the quotes or where it was headed. Not the illustrations though at first they look good, but all in all, they are not related to Islam. You see I am Muslim, and Sufism is a branch in Islam dedicated only for Allah, which has many meanings such as 'Pure Wisdom'. I felt the authors/translators going more into the 'brotherly love' between Shams and Rumi and losing the true...more

I was attracted by the illustrations of Rumi's poetry, which echo and illuminate the enigmatic text.
'We are the mirror as well as the face in it.'
Word images of thought and collages of open question merge and complement each other.

While I normally love the combination of image and text, I found myself distracted by the illustrations in this book. This was my first experience with Rumi, and I'm eager to try another collection, but this time without the images.
I loved this book! I really liked how the book was put together, the artwork and little anecdotes about Rumi and Shams.
Term explanations in the begging of a chapter also make the reading experience much better.

This is one of the books I often recommend to people new to Rumi. The marriage of the text and illumination is stunning - definitely the best book of this type I've ever experienced.

Rumi, Rumi - were you a real person? How I wish I could have known you and talked to you and spent time in your presence. Oh to breathe the same air you breathed.
Beautiful and always good to browse through when you are feeling low.
Imagine a 1000 suns... even then it is not enough in comparison to a spirited soul - Rumi was one such being whose torch of love was excited by Shams. Now the world is illuminating by the passion Rumi expresses...God Speed... Coleman my friend we will met in a garden far beyond doings of right and wrong... then we will dance and sing and make merry... and share bliss and grace...With oceans of love - Gabriel
I actually lost my original copy of this book, so I am on the hunt for it. But the memory of this collection of Rumi poetry and art lingers strong.
It is a lovely introduction to the poetry of Rumi as the poems are isolated by art, and the reader's pace slows as the words and images are enjoyed in concert.

Anything Rumi has written, is already beautiful. But accompanied with these gorgeous drawings, it makes his words come alive. This book brought peace to my soul. I love to randomly open it, and read what I find. Every word is powerful. I am very proud to own this beautiful book. The art is also breathtaking.
I'm so grateful to the friend who loaned me this book. I've seen Rumi quoted prolifically, but I'd never actually read a body of his work before. I liked the quotes I'd previously seen; but seeing the full tapestry of his words has drawn me into a new love affair.
The actual Rumi was great: he's so introspective while still speaking directly to you. It's like he's looking at God by staring directly into your eyes. The commentary was a little too mythological for my taste, so I stopped reading it.

Rumi reminds us of Diogenes, who was looking for a human being with a lamp at his hand in broad daylight: 'Yesterday a shaykh took a lamp in his hand. He said, 'I am tired of devils and beasts. I seek a true person.
'Come, come, whoever you are! Wanderer, worshipper, Lover of Leaving, come. This is not a caravan of despair. It doesn't matter if you've broken your vow a thousand times, still come, and yet again come!'

SO gorgeous - to open at any page, fine to read from the back (which I love), possibly forever on my 'currently reading' list. Although, now it's due at the library so I will return; I especially recommend reading this at the same time as FORTY RULES OF LOVE: A NOVEL OF RUMI.

What a joy to meet yourself in poetry. Since words can only point, Rumi provides a way to get drunk on spirit in the most delightful way.

“Fasting
By Mevlana Jelaluddin Rumi
(1207 - 1273)
English version by Coleman Barks
There's hidden sweetness in the stomach's emptiness.
We are lutes, no more, no less. If the soundbox
is stuffed full of anything, no music.
If the brain and belly are burning clean
with fasting, every moment a new song comes out of the fire.
The fog clears, and new energy makes you
run up the steps in front of you.
Be emptier and cry like reed instruments cry.
Emptier, write secrets with the reed pen.
When you're full of food and drink, Satan sits
where your spirit should, an ugly metal statue
in place of the Kaaba. When you fast,
good habits gather like friends who want to help.
Fasting is Solomon's ring. Don't give it
to some illusion and lose your power,
but even if you have, if you've lost all will and control,
they come back when you fast, like soldiers appearing
out of the ground, pennants flying above them.
A table descends to your tents,
Jesus' table.
Expect to see it, when you fast, this table
spread with other food, better than the broth of cabbages.” — 7 likes
