Farsi Fridays: October 21, 2022

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.


پیر is a guide that has gone through the path of inner senses before we have. They know the difficulties of the path and can take our hands and lead us through the storms of life.
— Fariba Enteshari
