"Whispers of the beloved" by Rumi
translated by some guy
(LOL-just look it up in the internet)
I went into Waterstones and seen it. Very small and only a few words on each page. :roll:
So I bought 'The Rumi Collection' and 'Mathnawi' instead.
Yes! Ma'arif e Mathnawi by Hadrat Mawlana Hakeem Akhtar Sahib is a na amzing book, even in english!! Its a commentary on the mathnawi of Hadrat Rumi. cant wait to learn persian cos then that book is top of my reading list!
Ya ALLAH Madad.
Haq Chaar Yaar
The works of Rumi is fantastic…he is loved even by the non Muslims. I borrowed the first volume of the Mathnawi from a mate once….but the English was SO difficult to understand. It was written in this posh/very old English.
I usually buy his poems/summarised versions of the Mathnawi.
its a cute book
can fit into purse
and for ur info I cant afford the expensive books of Rumi
Ahh
, there there.
I'm sure you can get one from a library. :roll:
You can try the net too. Here's some links to get you started:

Who is Rumi?
i actually had not heard of him either till i came ere

He was a great sufi philosopher and poet.
I do not know much either, so we all shall learn for a change...

[size=2]I wasn't whispering. I was thinking out loud, hence the ** marks.
Perhaps we should stop now cuz this is weird[/size]

Rumi was the greatest lover of God
very famous for the muslims/non muslims
he knew all about love
mentioning him isnt going off topic at all
aye ive heard a lot about this man, and Inshallah i wish to read some of his books
avaialable at Rumi Books no doubt, they've got a lot of his books
[size=7][color=yellow]do you know the extreme lengths i have to go, just so that i can read what your are writing in teeny weeny sizes? im already blind as a bat as it is!!![/color][/size]
The Lover is ever drunk with love;
He is free, he is mad,
He dances with ecstasy and delight.
Caught by our own thoughts,
We worry about every little thing,
But once we get drunk on that love,
Whatever will be, will be.

to what extent do you reckon its true, if it all:
"better to loved and lost, than to never have loved at all"
is it one of those things that yu should stay away from entirely, or can you actually learn something from the past?

He is free, he is mad,
He dances with ecstasy and delight.

That saying is not true.
That which is lost was never love.
You can never lose in love.
Love always wins.
Omrow
lol, spoken like a true romantic
Ya ALLAH Madad.

I agree. Too many people misuse and abuse this concept.
True love is lasts forever.
The Holy Prophet
still dearly loved his wife Hadrat Khadija (ra) even after she passed away and He remarried...He spoke about her fondly and respected her sister who reminded Him of her...
Waslaam
true true
ok, i'll rephrase.......does experience help u learn for next time?

i think if u truly love then u might love again sort of , but the next time will never be the same as the first.
actually i dont think u can love again after ur first.
Ya ALLAH Madad.
Haq Chaar Yaar
i think u can
Prophet (pbuh) loved hadrat Aisha (ra) a lot
no doubt Holy Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam DID love Ammi Aisha radhiyallahu anha. But even then, Sayyidatuna Aisha radhiyallahu anha has narrated that Holy Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam loved Ammi Khadeejah tul Kubra radhiyallahu anha the most.
Ya ALLAH Madad.

no one knows what love really is people get it mixed with hollywood and lust, personally i think you grow to love someone , love at first sight is a hollywood myth
