Editorial Reviews

Review
Nader Khalili has been able to bring out the fact that Rumi's message has a practical and concrete relevance to our everyday world. Nader has been perfoming a major human service by bringing beauty into architectural forms. In this volume he illustrates his versatiliy by bringing it into linguistic forms as well. -- Prof. William Chittick, State University of New York Stony Brook, author of the Sufi Path of Love.

Product Description
75 poems translated from the original Persian texts by architect and author Nader Khalili. Rumi's poetry is the inspiration behind the author's architectural work and the Rumi domes of light (book cover photo). Come let's fall in love again; let's turn all the dirt in this world to shiny gold.

5.0 out of 5 stars More than just translations, February 12, 2000
These poems are so poignantly rendered in the English language from the Persian, it's as if Rumi himself had traveled forward in time to rewrite them just for us. You don't have to be a Sufi to appreciate the wisdom of these words, and you don't have to like poetry to find them unbearably beautiful. This is the ultimate gift of love.

5.0 out of 5 stars Breathtakingly beautiful and deeply stirring., October 15, 1998
By A Customer
These translations are the purest and the most inspiring I've seen. Let this be your source of RUMI's teachings as it is mine.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best translations of Rumi I have ever found., August 24, 1998
I have been searching for a copy of this book for over a year. While Coleman Barks seems to be getting better and better over time, Nader Khalili has arrived. These are wonderful selections, beautifully translated. Nader's style adds a wonderful touch to Rumi's sure words, and the resulting combination is truly inspiring. I can't sing enough praises for this book. Buy it, and help me convince Nader to write more. Anyone have his e-mail address?
