Farsi Fridays: March 31, 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.


In the mystical poetry of Rumi, death is symbolic of surrendering the want of lower ego and facing the true needs of our soul.
— Fariba Enteshari
