Poetry

In addition to his profound quotes, Rumi also penned countless poems that explore the themes of love, loss, longing, and the search for the divine. Here are some of his most beloved and evocative poems:

The Guest House

This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they are a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still treat each guest honorably. He may be clearing you out for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.

In this poem, Rumi teaches us to embrace all aspects of life, both the pleasant and the painful. He reminds us that even the most difficult experiences can lead to growth and transformation, if we approach them with an open heart and a willingness to learn.

The Reed Flute

Listen to the story told by the reed flute, how it laments its separation from the reed bed:

"I have been cut from my home, and ever since I've been moaning my pain. Anyone who is separated from his source will understand my song of longing.

Until I return to my origin, I will keep telling my tale of woe. Anyone who has ears to hear, come listen, for my music speaks to every yearning soul."

In this poem, Rumi uses the metaphor of the reed flute to express the pain of separation and longing. He reminds us that all of us are connected to something greater than ourselves, and that our true home is in the divine.

The Dance

Let the lover be disgraceful, crazy, impertinent, haughty, anything but apart from the Beloved. Though the world is against the lover, may the lover never abandon the path of love.

Dance, when you're broken open. Dance, if you've torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance when you're perfectly free.

In this poem, Rumi celebrates the transformative power of love. He teaches us that even in the midst of adversity, we can find solace and joy in the love of the divine. He encourages us to dance with abandon, to embrace our brokenness and our vulnerability, and to let the love of the divine fill us with joy and freedom.

Rumi's quotes and poetry are a timeless treasure, offering wisdom, inspiration, and guidance to seekers of all ages and backgrounds. By immersing ourselves in his words, we open ourselves to the transformative power of love, the beauty of the present moment, and the boundless potential of the human spirit. May Rumi's teachings continue to illuminate our path and inspire us to live a life filled with love, compassion, and purpose.
