Sleeping every day: Rumi's poems

Rumi's full name is Maurane Jalaluddin Rumi. At that time, Turks called the Eastern Roman Empire rum, and Rumi meant from the Eastern Roman Empire. He was born in Balkh (in today's Afghanistan), so he also has a Tajik name, but the name Rumi is more commonly used. His original name is Mohammad Jalaluddin, which means religious saint. Later, he was also honored as Moravi, which means master and elder.

Rumi's poems express the eternal themes of mankind: love, life and death; Love for God and unity with God are the special themes in Rumi's poems. Lover and beloved are two words that often appear in Rumi's poems. He often calls God "friend", "king" or "cupbearer". However, this love for God and the source of all things expressed in poetic language will not make modern people feel incomprehensible and unacceptable. Even for an atheist, Rumi's poems can trigger and arouse some kind of emotional experience in his heart.

The success of Rumi's poems lies in that behind his poems, people can read the poet's exploration of inner spiritual world and metaphysical philosophy. It is precisely because the poet has his mysterious perceptual experience that Rumi can express mysterious and unspeakable philosophy with poetic language full of inspiration and vivid images, and perfectly integrate religious thoughts with the artistic charm of poetry. The ecstasy and passion inspired by the infinite world represented by God gave the poet endless inspiration and filled his poems with infinite poetry. Rumi is not only a great poet, but also a great spiritual master.

Poetry, music, wine, dizzying dance, lovers and loved ones, when all these are put together, it is destined to be a feast of love!
