Jami
Khwaja Ahrar with Malwana Jami, sufi poetIn their own words 10
, Were Women all like those whom here I name, / Woman to man I surely would prefer; / The Sun is feminine, nor deems it shame; / The Moon, though masculine, depends on her.
Good intentions are useless in the absence of common-sense.
The wise man refuses to be led beyond his own depth.
About this person
Born Nūr ad-Dīn 'Abd ar-Rahmān in 1414, he became known simply as Jami and rose within the Naqshbandi Sufi order as both scholar and poet-theologian. His work fused eloquence with the metaphysics of the Khwājagānī tradition, analyzing mercy and the divine through a lens shaped by Ibn Arabi's mystical philosophy. He produced a sprawling body of literature - Haft Awrang, Layla wa Majnun, Tuhfat al-Ahrar, and others - that secured his place as a central voice in Sufi thought. He died in November 1492, two days past his seventy-eighth birthday, leaving a canon that would echo through Persian letters and Turkish scholarship for centuries.
