Farsi Fridays: April 7, 2023

Though it is now translated in to hundreds of languages, Rumi’s original work was written in Farsi – including his famous Mathnawi. Each Friday we send out a word or phrase, in Farsi, that can be found in Rumi’s work. You can listen to the pronunciation and learn the meaning of Farsi words that often appear in Rumi's poetry.

Farsi Fridays is an opportunity to learn Rumi's language and better understand his wisdoms.


Rumi calls the path to enlightenment, Alchemy. In his epic Mathnawi, he encourages us to transform from copper to Gold by transforming the lower ego (Nafs) into higher quality. We are encourage to perfect our Union with God from within.
