In ancient lands of Persia's rich tapestry,
A poet and mystic touched divinity.
With words that flowed like a mystical stream,
Rumi's poetry continues to gleam.

In the heart of Konya, his wisdom unfurled,
A Sufi master whose teachings transcend the world.
Through love and longing, he sought to find,
The essence of truth that connects all mankind.

His verses a dance of love and surrender,
Echoing through time, with a mystical splendor.
Guiding souls on a path to the divine,
Rumi's words like music, forever entwine.

His poetry speaks of joy and despair,
Of union with God, beyond all compare.
A beacon of light in a world so dark,
Rumi's legacy leaves a lasting mark.

So let us embrace his wisdom and grace,
Let his words guide us to find our place.
In the realm of the soul, where love's pure flame,
Burns brightly in Rumi's eternal name.
