Like the fire of love, it stirs a man’s soul,

Description: Translation:

Like the fire of love, it stirs a man’s soul,
In battle and madness, it makes him whole.

Like waves in the ocean, restless and wild,
It blinds his reason with tempests untold

Description:

Testosterone is like that overenthusiastic friend who hypes you up for everything—whether it’s fighting a bear, lifting a fridge, or confessing undying love on a whim. It fuels ambition, power, and unfortunately, a lot of questionable decisions. This rubai captures the essence of this hormone: the fire that ignites passion, the storm that stirs recklessness, and the energy that often leaves common sense behind, waving from the shore.

New Ghazal Posted: Forbidden Love

Forbidden Love

Description: This ghazal explores the internal conflict of a poet caught in the throes of a forbidden love. The verses depict a battle between heart and mind—where passion urges surrender, but reason warns of consequence. The imagery of midnight tresses, weeping tears, and a deceptive journey reflects the turmoil of longing for something unattainable. Love is portrayed as both enchanting and destructive, leading the poet into a labyrinth of emotions where reason falters, and the heart is left adrift. The ghazal captures the essence of love’s paradox: a beautiful yet painful longing that consumes the soul.

RUMI | Poem of the Atoms (Subtitles) | Sufi Mysticism

Description: Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi, better known simply as Rumi, was perhaps the greatest Sufi mystic and the finest Persian poet of all time. He had a great influence on Muslim writing and culture.

It is believed that Rumi would turn round and round while reciting his poetry, and it is this dance which formed the basis for the Whirling Dervishes, after his death. Dervish means doorway, and the dance is believed to be a mystical portal between the earthly and cosmic worlds.

Music Composition: Armand Amar

Rumi - Poem of the Atoms - Salar Aghili

O day, arise! The atoms are dancing
Thanks to Him the universe is dancing
The souls are dancing, overcome with ecstasy
I'll whisper in your ear where their dance is taking them
All the atoms in the air and in the desert know well, they are in a frenzy
Every single atom, happy or miserable
Becomes enamoured of the sun, of which nothing can be said

The Guest House - RUMI (Sufi Mysticism) Powerful Poem

Description: The Poem "The Guest House" by Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi explores the Sufi concept of embracing adversity as a path to spiritual enlightenment. It encourages us to treat life's ups and downs as a “Guest” that is here to teach a valuable life lesson.

Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi, better known simply as Rumi, was perhaps the greatest Sufi mystic and the finest Persian poet of all time. He had a great influence on Muslim writing and culture.

It is believed that Rumi would turn round and round while reciting his poetry, and it is this dance which formed the basis for the Whirling Dervishes, after his death. Dervish means doorway, and the dance is believed to be a mystical portal between the earthly and cosmic worlds.

Poem: The Guest House

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture, still,
treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing
and invite them in.

Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

We Don’t Need to Seek Love. We Just Have to Stop Resisting It | The Wisdom of Rumi

Description: The 13th-century Sufi mystic Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī also known as Mevlana, or simply as Rumi, observed that all phenomena of nature are bound together by love. Love is what keeps planets orbiting their stars, stars encircling the centers of their galaxies, and electrons revolving around the nucleus of an atom.

Love is the force that keeps us together and moving and immerses an otherwise cold world of matter with warmth. Within the Islamic mystic branch that is known as Sufism, love is seen as a divine essence, and only through the path of love, we can see the truth and become one with the whole, like a drop that becomes one with the ocean.

But love is not something to be found outside of us in the material world. The divine essence, something that goes beyond the ego and the senses, lies already inside us at the core of our being. It’s a force that the intellect cannot comprehend and, therefore, our minds cannot search nor perceive it. But we can feel it. And it can only be revealed if we find freedom from what tethers us to the world of matter, and remove the barriers that separate us from a boundless ocean of love. We don't need to seek love. We just have to stop resisting it (the poetry of Rumi).

Their sweet-lipped one has never spoken bitterly,
This blandness is from the sourness of my own fortune.
