Not a good translation to understand Rumi's wisdom
Not a good translation. It can be boring to read at time because most poems feel like sub titles underneath the foreign song. I have seen many translation of Rumi's poem and I would say that it does not matter if a person is Native to the language or not. It is very important how well the translator understands the words of the legend. I would rather read translation by faroukh Dhondy. Overall this book is only for showoff but as far as reading is concerned in my opinion it's not a good translation that you can understand and dive in to Rumi's wisdom and love. Rumi itself is mysterious and requires time to know his work. Rumi and Kabir's poem are 2 of my favorite books to read for real spiritual understanding. Please look for other translation and preferably check it at Barnes and Nobles or Public library before buying Rumi's poems because it all depends on how it's translated.

Charming little book.
Beautiful collection of timeless poetry of Rumi. Really lovely edition, which suited as a birthday present. But please be aware that rather then the typical collection of love poems, as understood romantically in the west, this little book contains an utmost expression of the for the highest love in itself, by the lover Rumi, in love with all and by all.
