  13. Rumi’s ordinary life Family: • His marriages: 1st marriage: Gohar Khatun (گوهر خاتون دختر خواجه لالای سمرقندی), two sons: Soltan Walad and Aladdin Chalabi (سلطان ولد – محمد علاءالدین چلبی) 2nd marriage (After Gohar’s death): Kera Khatun (کرا خاتون), one son and one daughter: Amir Mozaffar ud-din and Malake Khatun (امیر مظفرالدین – ملکه خاتون)

  14. Rumi’s ordinary life • His look: Shaved head, shaved moustache, short Round beard, very skinny body • His clothing: Light brown round felt hat, dark gray turban, dark blue long garment

  15. Rumi’s ordinary life • Was he a cleric? • His income: Madrasa income and presents • Sex life! • Few scenes from his life

  16. Rumi’s beliefs • Very abstract form of Gnosticism • High religious tolerance (Thrianus story – Christians and Jews in his burial) • No ethnic discrimination ای بسا هندو و ترک همزبان ای بسا دو ترک چون بیگانگان • Anti-rationalism اندر این ره گر خرد ره بین بدی فخر رازی رازدار دین بدی ***** پای استدلالیون چوبین بود پای چوبین سخت بی تمکین بود

  17. Rumi’s art • Shams ghazals Complaining from form: رستم ازین بیت وغزل ای شه سلطان ازل مفتعلن مفتعلن مفتعلن کشت مرا Simple forms • Masnavi Using Simple tunes(Vazn) of Persian poetry: Rumi (Masnavi): (فاعلاتن فاعلاتن فاعلن) آتش است این بانگ نای و نیست باد هر کس این آتش ندارد نیست باد Hafez: ما در درون سینه هوایی نهفته ایم برباد اگر رود دل ما زان هوا رود (مفعول فاعلات مفاعیل فاعلن) Fluent, reflecting poet’s stream of thought and life: Assuming 50 couplets for each sub-section 50 / 6.7~ 7 → weekly gatherings?!?!? • Non-Persian poems (Turkish and Greek)

  18. Rumi’s death • Sunday, Dec 17, 1273 AD (672 H) • Last poem: Go lay (your) head on the pillow (and sleep). Leave me (to be) alone; leave me (to be) ruined, night-wandering, and afflicted. I am alone with a wave of passion, from night until day. If you wish, come with mercy; if you wish, go (and) be harsh. Escape from me, so that you may not also fall into affliction! Choose the path of safety (and) shun the path of affliction. With the tears of (my) eyes, I have crawled into the corner of sorrow. Grind the mill hundreds of times upon the tears of my eyes. For me there is an oppressor who has a heart like a hard rock. He kills, (and) nobody tells him to arrange payment of the blood-price! For the king of the beautiful-faced ones, loyalty is not necessary. (But) you be patient and faithful, O sallow-faced lover! It is a pain for which there sis no remedy except to die. So how can I ask that this pain be cured? Last night I dreamed of an elder in the lane of Love: he gestured to me with (his) hand, (meaning) "Make (your) aim (to come) to me." If there is a dragon on the road, Love is like an emerald (which will blind it); drive away the dragon with the (green) flash of this emerald! Stop, since I am losing myself! If you are (a man) of abundant knowledge, recite the History of so-and-so3 (and) admonish so and so!
