Farsi Fridays: March 17, 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.
“The meaning of “leaf” is mystical in Rumi’s poetry. A leaf symbolizes our worldly choices which sustain us. The things we don’t choose open our mystical path. Meaning that what we don´t choose is as important as what we choose.”
