## Bio

Jalāl al-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmī was born in 1207 in Balkh, but Mongol invasions sent his family fleeing west through Iran, Baghdad, and Damascus before settling in Konya at nineteen - a former Roman province that gave him his name. He was set to become an Islamic scholar like his father until a wandering dervish named Shams Tabrīzī arrived and the two became so consumed with each other that Rumi abandoned his duties. When Shams vanished, Rumi's grief ignited his poetic life: the Divan of Shams Tabrīzī poured out, followed by the Masnavi, a sprawling spiritual epic in Persian that ranks just behind the Quran in the Islamic literary canon. He founded the Mevlevi Order, the Sufi brotherhood of the whirling dervishes, and died in Konya in 1273. His works remain central to Persian literature and Sufism, and modern translation has made him the most widely read poet on earth.
