Across centuries, his voice has spoken equally to Iranians, Afghans, Tajiks, Turks, Greeks, and to the peoples of Central and Southeast Asia, shaping spiritual thought far beyond its place of origin. Over the past seven hundred years, Rumi’s poetry has been translated into countless languages, continuing its journey across the world.
