Description: Of all the Persian poets, Mevlana Jalal-e-Din Mohammad Mevlavi Balkhi Rumi (1207-1273) is the most popular and widely read in North America. Born in the Persian Empire city of Balkh (now in Afghanistan), Rumi's family fled the invading Mongol hordes and emigrated to the city of Konya, in what is now Turkey. Rumi became a scholar and theologian, spending his days teaching or studying the great mystics such as Attar. Around the year 1244, a wandering Sufi dervish known as Shams Tabrizi came to the city. For several years afterwards, he and Rumi would spend a great deal of time together. Eventually, Shams left Konya and never returned, though the exact circumstances are unclear (some say Rumi's disciples, angered by the loss of their teacher to the dervish's company, murdered Shams, while others say Rumi's son murdered Shams out of jealousy). It is known that Shams' disappearance led to some of Rumi's most inspired poetry, which is widely read and treasured to this day. Rumi. Naghmeha-yi Behesht (Words of Paradise).
