Rumi

Jalal al-Din Muhammad Rumi, commonly known as Rumi, was a Sufi mystic and poet who founded the Mevlevi Order, an influential Sufi brotherhood, and is regarded as one of the towering figures of Persian literature and mystic poetry. His family fled west from the advancing Mongols in his youth, and he eventually settled in Konya, where his encounter with the wandering dervish Shams Tabrizi transformed his life and marked the beginning of his poetic output, later reflected in his Divan of Shams Tabrizi. His Masnavi, often called a Qur'an in Persian, is considered one of the greatest poems of the Persian language and one of the most important works of Islamic literature, and his poetry, translated into many of the world's languages, has made him, by some measures, the best-selling poet in the United States in recent years.
