What sets Rumi apart from the rest of classical or modern Persian poets is precisely his deliberate and total disregards for the often very methodical and carefully managed rhyming poetic formulas of the Persian poetry. It's precisely this abrupt change of mind, and Rumi's honest and spontaneous outpourings which have fascinated me all along. He then ends the poem in a very strange and melancholic manner. But halfway through the poem, Rumi's state of mind suddenly changes, and he becomes somewhat moody and nostalgic. One can clearly sense optimism and joy simply pouring out of Rumi's pen. What makes this poem so interesting is the fact that Rumi starts out in an amazingly intoxicated state of joy and happiness, being entirely absorbed in Shams Tabrizi's love and companionship. This is one of my all time favorite poems of Rumi. Those so called friends of yours who always try Now you're running away from pain and suffering,Īnd begging Me again for My grace and compassion. Which brought you back to your rediscovered God!
