Farsi Fridays: September 30, 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.


Annihilation is one of the last stages of Enlightenment in Rumi’s poetry. It is destruction – the dissolving of the lower self into the higher self by way of the light of the Holy.
— Fariba Enteshari
