The collection also includes pieces from the *Ruba'iyat*, which are succinct lyric poems of a traditional form, and from the *Mathnavi-e Ma'nav?*, known as the Poem of Inner Meanings. This latter work, rich in esoteric teachings, imparts moral and spiritual wisdom.In this carefully curated anthology, Rafica Abdulla captures the transformative energy of Rumi's original words. Through evocative rhythm and vivid imagery, he successfully recreates the ecstatic emotional state that leads to joy and enlightenment.
