The first collection of poems translated into English from the forbidden volume of the Divan of Rumi? Presents Rumi's most heretical and free-form poems? Includes introductions and commentary that provide both 13th-century context and modern interpretationAfter his overwhelming and life-altering encounters with Shams of Tabriz, Rumi, the great thirteenth-century mystic, poet, and originator of the whirling dervishes, let go of many of the precepts of formal religion, insisting that only a complete personal dissolving into the larger energies of God could provide the satisfaction that the heart so desperately seeks.

Songs to Shams, songs to God


He took me under his arm


Split wide open


I won't repent his love


How can I fool him?


Water


Stay with me


Conversations with God


The greatness of absence


How happy a time


What a bird!


Love letter to Shams


Death is life for you


More than these


What can I do?


Give up yourself


I keep smiling


Why are you deceiving me?


He embraced me like his own soul


The placeless place


Everyone else is a stranger


Beautiful one


The promise is sweet


Still say nothing


Flying high on your wine


Offer your wine


Please don't go


It wasn't like that


Shamseddin


The road is narrow


Don't go away


Lifting the curtain


His trace


Wherever you are


Don't go anywhere without me


Your blessing is unconditional


Songs of advice, songs of admonition


Search there


The best nourishment


Fasting


Divine road


Choose love


God's ocean


Watch how God opens the door


The journey starts here


Ascend the mountain of love


Don't you recall?


These two worlds


Outside the sack


A rascal in the bazaar


Just do it


Your overflowing secrets


The drunks of Union


Ahead of the thought


The land of absence


Love is its own proof


Advice to the drunk at heart


Light and shadow


Words into dust


Time to journey


Come as you are


The language of the heart


Free wine


The perfect host


A helper of hearts


A life without art


God's artistry


All that is good


Open the door


Donkey and ox


Checkmate


The caravan's bells


Steal pearls


This temporary world


Some advice


Music at the tavern of eternity


The eggshell of the body


Open your door


Heaven's door


Reborn


Submerged in absence


Life is coming to the rose garden


The path in the heart


The rose's plea


Why are you so reasonable?


You are in his hand


Cries of confirmation


Words of the secrets


Hidden from the eyes


You snatched my heart


The moon's slave


Cut it short


Songs of heresy


You can't get away


I came back to you


Everyone is welcome to this school


A stranger to myself


I am the one!


Wake up from your sleep


He is beyond praise
