  • In respond to the wrong understanding of this poem, I know to tell you that this poem is just for God the great.

    only he is not soul or body and he belongs to every soul, so he is the loved and the beloved. thanks to all.

  • what is the beloved ?

    

  • Again 1 min:29 seconds of this video blows over 2000 years of Christianity straight out of the watter ,but then again one taut could disbelive this video. its all just mad.

  • (2) stop reading fantasy books and came to reality, first you need to know everything about this life before you can begin to preach on the other. it's like an Arab said the persian golf belongs to the Arab,shah of Iran said,do y have not been to school, what did you learn that it's called, PERSIAN GOLF, what the fuck do you not Understand the Words of his poem.how the fuck can you conect this poem to Islam or more of his other poems, or love and erotic poems

  • (1) he had to say he was a Muslim, you can not history, that time was so, he was forced to make two poems about Islam in order to not get hurt. secondly, he is not Turkish, he is from the Persian / Iran who migrated to Turkey. seriously you need to educate yourself, read books, literature and for this purpose Persian literature.

  • everyone gets it different. lets live with it. live with what you live, live with life.and dont get into others live.peace..

  • @afiqjenoba your more disillusion than a blind monkey in a playground, i guess its because of allahs narrow ideology, its their my thoughts or everyone else is dead wrong, maybe you should start reading less quran and more open minded material, good day

  • @afiqjenoba aaa but hes talking about love, its not an religion, isn't from any of the worlds, doesn't contain any of the elements, it is traceless and placeless, and it lives in the beloved, in the person that is in love

  • is everyone here deaf? do you guys not hear him say nor muslim? so no allah, therefore no religion. it takes something special to be this restarted

  • @afiqjenoba if only allah would stop killing

    

  • Learne Farsi then you understand what he is saying

  • @exMuslimuk Why are you an ex muslim? Just curious

  • I am an exmuslim, but I still loved the video. Can somebody tell me where the music is from?

  • thanks

  • Olá, amiga! muito bom seu video parabens linda musica fantastico nota(10) ********** estrela para brilhar com você, e continue assim com esse dom maravilhoso que você tem que Deus abençê você.

    Forte abraço e fique com Deus para que ele ilumine seu camiho maravilhoso.

    Att.....Juvenil

  • can anyone tell me the name of the piece of music plz

  • Just life then death

  • Only the one who has renounced this world& tasted the sweetness of real love is the one who understands every language,until then we are just shadows upon the eternal sea...

  • That no about Rumi or whatever.. It's about reality.. reality of everything that existed..

  • @cypriot1965 Rumi does not talking about him self. Talking about Allah .

  • @gayesay He is talking about himself, listen to the last sentence, in a way you're right, he is talking about Allah, because as he says in the last sentence, they are one

    

  • Hello To All Guys He Was Big Stupid Some Time.... Look We Human Being Came From ... Earth Or Soul..... It Is Boday And Inside Body Its Sould Dear Jalaldin Molana Was Wrong.....I know He Was Good Man But These Words Are Crazy and useless Goodluck.

  • @kandasoo hi brother i think you are mistaken

    this is something that we all should learn and follow

    all religions try to teach you this but Mavlana expresses the whole process in one piece of peom

  • @kandasoo ....RESPECT MY Dear.

  • Hello To All Guys He Was Big Stupid Some Time.... Look We Human Being Came From ... Earth Or Soul..... It Is Boday And Inside Body Its Sould Dear Jalaldin Molana Was Wrong.....I know He Was Good Man But These Words Are Crazy and useless Goodluck

  • He does not say "I belong to the soul of the beloved"; he says "I am soul of the beloved". Very poor translation.

  • @tosan1 thank you, that was like a revelation!

  • pure love is what God is supposed to stand for. this poem is about being one with God.

    whatever religion you are, all religions push for the good in people

    all religions want to promote pure love. pure love is not of this universe, which revolves around negativity (open ur eyes and look around ppl are swayed by their own desires)

    in rumis words, you conquer your desires your true beauty shines

    no greed, no deceit, pure and honest.

    radiating pure love and positivity and love into the world

  • These words are just like the words by Baba Bulleh shah, the sufi whose famous words"bullah kee jana mainn kaun", mean...bullah...I know not what am I.

  • Wonderfull..One Love...

  • I love it! That's really what I am.....

  • there is no GOD. inshallah hahah

  • like alooot

  • By beloved he means God?

  • @omadbaba yes dear.

  • @omadbaba Yes and No. His "god" is not a religious type of god. It's the Consciousness. Sufis (along with other esoteric traditions) believed that god is not a separate entity from other creatures. and the true self of everyone is indeed god. That's why it's very important to translate this poem correctly. In original Persian text he says "I am the soul of the beloved itself" (Man khod jaane jaanaanam).

  • @tosan1 Exactly

  • What he's trying to say is that he is the Beloved's slave and that only to HIM does he belong - nothing else but His

  • MashaAllah how powerful.

  • SUBHANALLAH!

  • Could someone tell me the name of the song or the artist?

  • @evasion89 the song name is gulumcan

  • hahahaha... just at the end,, you had to claim that you belong to something.

    Anyway, i am a Christian. and very much proud of it.

  • @inday811 yes, the beloved is the only One u belong to, not to an idea, concept, religion, or anything man mad.......hehe congratulation my proud christian!

  • @theiceman74 thanks. but i don't think you're a Christian yourself.

    and correction my friend, that ONE whom i belong to?

    It is an idea, a concept, and a religion.

    and who are you to call me yours?

    are you Jesus?

    very funny.

    anyway,

    It is what i believe.

    and of course, you can always have yours too.

    bye.

  • @inday811 You are misunderstanding me. The poem writer says he belongs only to the ONE (God), which I believe is true to everyone. But in your case you said you belong to a man made religion (chrtianity, or whatever )... I didnt say you belong to me..lol

  • @inday811 i am not as stupid as you think i am.

  • Who made this?

  • can someone please tell me whats this song name?

  • Comment removed

  • @NutCrackerNuts the song name is gulumcan

  • @istanbulmasali thank you very much!

  • go to wopg

  • I have to see it again and again and again and it feels like dancing......

  • there is no I - there is no there- is is only is!

  • Beautiful Truth

  • GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT

  • @cypriot1965 To be honest with you he did not care about humanity either. That's a common misconception many people have because they are using current and fashionable moral values. What Rumi is saying here is that he belongs to the One Spirit (he and the entire cosmos and god are One), any other identity we assume (including nationality or even humanity) is false and arbitrary.

  • @tosan1

    Spirituality is itself a strong belief! Without belief its nothing. :)

    All da sufis give the same msg! In fact, "Mansoor(RA)" puts it in a very beautiful way. He kept on saying "Im Haqq", now Haqq in Islam is referred to God, n was intolerable to many. When he was just to be hanged, he was asked to repent for forgivingness. He said;

    "When a drop falls in the ocean, it itself becomes an ocean, Now its time to meet the beloved"

  • @artistdigital It's true that the sufis and other spirituals masters used words and logic to somehow convey their msg to others. However, belief on their own is NOT spirituality. The point I am trying to make is that spirituality is experiential, not idealogical (=it is not sth to be truly understood by mind/logic/words).

  • @tosan1

    I agree on this!!! :)

    This is a very tough path n Satan often misguides people but again "Love" is the key!!

  • this is not of Rumi

    none of the Rumi scholars consider this fabricated poem of Rumi

  • @kdastyari Actually many do! It's the Muslim Orthodox who say this is not Rumi's.

  • @tosan

    This poem is referring to the philosophy of "kun fayaqoon" ( " "Be" and "It is" "). The divine "Order" by God, for creation to be created.

  • PAR EXCELLENCE! SALAMAT AND MABUHAY!

  • Every true Muslim when experiences divine love becomes a Sufi!!

    Sufism is beautiful! Allah is beautiful and his Messenger(SAW) is beautiful!!

  • @artistdigital You don't even have to be Muslim. It has nothing to do with religion!!!!!

    (nothing has been so misunderstood as much as much as divinity and spirituality! Essentially religion and spiritually do not go together very well, unless one understands the fact that there is no truth in religion and it's just a symbolic and arbitrary way to express some dimensions of spirituality.)

  • :)

    The basic concept behind spirituality is

    i) Belief in God.

    ii) Submitting your will to God

    Now, if u submit ur will to God, God will take u on a journey. A journey that is divine! You r not responsible for anything, then. Now this is the concept n this is Islam. In fact, Islam makes it much easier, if one follows.

    The center of all spirituality is God, other then that, its mirage! :)

    Spirituality is as ancient, as Human race n its relation with God.

  • @artistdigital spirituality has nothing to do in belief. It's a practice not belief. Spirituality comes when all beliefs and ideologies are put to sleep. and ironically as Rumis says when you start talking about spirituality, you've lost spirituality: عین اظهار سخن پوشیدن است

  • True Islam is so beautiful!

    Most of Rumis peotry is about the love for Allah and all his creations.

  • Rumi writes: " I belong to the soul of the Beloved". There is no other in his stellar poetry, just the Beloved and the sweet nectar of the Beloved. Rumi was about commonality of humanity, not difference.

    His point is simply to know the Beloved.

    Beautifully rendered.

  • Comment removed

  • The roots of Sufism precedes Islam. Sufism in Iran is the continuity of esoteric traditions in Zoroastrianism, Mitrasim and even beyond. Sohrevardi has extensive literature on this, which he calls Hekmate Khosravanieh.

    All esoteric traditions point to the same thing, they are expressed differently when they come to words. Sufism, like Buddhism, and other esoteric traditions is essentially about *LIVING IN THE MOMENT* (= letting go of ego by living beyond time and mental abstractions).

  • I disagree with the way you described Sufism.

    But, its just my opinion I do not intend to get in any sort of argument.

    I tries to say in a way that we are nothing but nothingness but yet not nothingness, we belong to the Beloved(God) we are like the Beloved describes (in essence) only his breath(i.e spirit: in essence).

  • that is only Rumi who is able to speak bravely the truth of human power...

  • hey dudefromlondon...

    PLEASE stop using the name of my god,Allah, for your own intolerance,righteousness and prejudice...

    Focus on improving YOURSELF first during this beautiful month of Ramadhan... *peacebliss*

  • ...it is so TRUE...who ever knows the absolute and infinite intelligence of the one supreme God, he will be on the majestic path...thought is a force, a prayer is a force...it is time to cleanse our thoughts for the best of human kind...

    PEACE :)

  • you are entitled to your own intolerance,righteousness and prejudice... *peacebliss*

  • really good.

  • Alhamdulilla there is still proof of the ture Islam in this worl.

    Rumi obviusly lived after the Quran - wich all of us muslims should do.

    Thx for this wonderfull poem.

  • true* Islam ;P

  • Sufis interpret the quran SYMBOLICALLY, while Al-islam does LITERALLY, this is the difference.....

  • Actually, it is a bit more complicated. Sufis start interpreting literally, then move to deeper level of knowledge, then they shed material strings, then the heart gets involved and then the trouble starts, then they get violent encounter from mediocor (literal) minds!

    Peace;

  • I am a Sufi myself, and all sufis DONOT think alike becuz the culture might be different. The one thing that we do have in common, is that we know the spark of ALLAH IS IN MAN, and once one knows this, u donot fall into MEANINGLESS rituals.

    Theres nothing wrong with literal things, its just that the ones who say "Mohammed said this" and "the hadith says that", are usually the ones who think that the Arabian islam is the ONLY path. However, they donot know that 'Islam' is BEFORE......

  • Of course Haqq is one and the conflict arises from differing interpretation of that Hqq which is independent of the interpreter. I wonder if the problem arises when we start executing our interpretation on others before we internalize it, practice it and cleanse our heart.

    For sure, it is easy to execute what we know on others than ourselves.

    We are programmed to have differing opinion and that is the fact. BUT, some are very afraid that differing interpretation will ruin Islam.

  • omg this is AWESOME

  • You are nothing ? and yet yu have a voice and a vedio !!

  • the trick is to be and not be deliberately,

  • We exist not by our own choice however, we have to select our choices as they will have to be deliberate. Clarity of a message makes it powerful and more widely acceptable. Indirect concepts usually fade away as they are often Misinterpreted-- and so I say:

    I'm a muslim created for clay my home is in paradise and I'm on earth now. My soul belogs to its creator Allah.

  • From clay

  • if Allah "Created" your soul, then you have a beginning and ending and ur measured up by time. Its the ONENESS of Allah that you shud seek; refuge in that which was NEVER created......

  • I agree and submit my well to Allah and ask him to treat me with his kindness and have mercy on my weakness.

  • I am the servant of the Qur'an as long as I have life.

    I am the dust on the path of Muhammad, the Chosen one.

    If anyone quotes anything except this from my sayings,

    I am quit of him and outraged by these words. Rumi--

  • I wish I could talk with rumi

  • who knows anything about the music in the background?

  • Its probably European classic ballade. it has nothing to do with Sufism!

  • @mcsmiha1973 it is gulumcan..

  • @istanbulmasali thank you very much.

  • You are CONTROLED FOR THE CONTROLERS PURPOSE IF YOU BELEIVE IN THE bIBLE GOD, aLAH, ETC. tHEY ARE FAIRYTALES LIKE sANTA cLAUSE AND THE EASTER BUNNY, iREALISED THIS 10 YEARS AGO. BELEIVE IN YOURSELF AND EITHER JOIN THE GOOD SIDE OF LIVING OR THE BAD SIDE OR LIKE MOST OF THE PEOPLE ON EARTH A LITTLE OF BOTH FOR WHICH WILL SUIT YOUR PURPOSE BEST EVEN IF IT WILL MEAN DAMNATION IN HELL. if YOU BELEIVE IN THE bIBLE YOU WOULD BE LIVING IN A CAVE SOMEWHERE AWAY FROM ALL OF SOCIETY THAT GOES AGAINST YOU

  • let us have our fairytlales.you keep yours!

  • Best answer you could have given! ;D

  • @cybervisionstar True!

  • 3:64 Say: "O People of the Book! come to common terms as between us and you: That we worship none but Allah; that we associate no partners with him; that we erect not, from among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than Allah." If then they turn back, say ye: "Bear witness that we (at least) are Muslims (bowing to Allah's Will)

  • yoU ARE bowing to Muslims will , to control you and use you to do their dirty work, The controlers use the best WMD in the world FEAR of Fairytales like Alah BAba , The Bible God, Jesus. Wake up! Any religon that requests money or your prayers won't be anwerd is FAKE. Beleive in yourself, and choose to be good or bad. But not one or the other for when it suits you. But either way is ok, no God is going to reward you good nor condem you for bad, We do the bidding of the Universe thinking I

  • its just that simple.

    I could watch this forever.

    Excellent choice of music and narration.

  • it's as if they didn't even listen to the words from the video!!

  • Thanks for putting this video! :D

  • He was a Turk only if you can understand this

    پارسی گو گرچه تازی خوشتر است — عشق را خود صد زبان دیگر است

    from his own mouth

  • hahhaha, okay Afghans might have a point, but he was a Turk? lol, give me a break, all the historic scholars seem to disagree with you, so shut up.

  • Samarkand has been one of the main centres of Persian civilization from its early days.

    molana/molawi is persian.dont you ever wonder whay all his poem is farsi and not turkish or afghan.

  • nicely said

  • Founded circa 700 BC by the Persians it was already the capital of the Sogdian satrapy under the Achaemenid dynasty of Persia when Alexander the Great conquered it in 329 BC.

  • Samarkand derives its name from the Old Persian asmara, "stone", "rock", and Sogdian kand, "fort", "town"

  • Comment removed

  • yes there was.. it was called Samer-Kand(the capital city)

  • Divine

  • This poem has been written by Bulleh shah Punjabi Poet.

  • See, since Rumi came first, so the orignal belongs to him. However, Bulleh Shah has a Punjabi version, that you can say is a translation of this poem..

  • This poem has been written by Bulleh Shah

  • Funny - you guys listen to the poem and then argue about who wrote it or where he/she is from... so you don't really get it..

  • Thank you for this beautiful poem, by Rumi. As the 12 century Sufi, Ebn'Arabi said: My heart has become capable of all forms, A prairie for the gazelles; A covenant for the monks; A Ka'ba for the pilgrims; The book of the Qur'an; The tablets of the Torah; I profess the religion of love, And regardless of which direction its steed may lead, Love is my religion and my creed!
  • Wow what beauty :"""""")

  • God, I LOVED this rubayat !!! It just goes along with the way I think, feel and want to live!!!

    Thanks for this beautiful video...

  • I think that all these comments on Rumi's nationality miss the point of his real message in this poem. Rumi tells us clearly where he feels he belongs to..

  • yes he is in the heart of Beloved

  • Comment removed

  • no he was not,

    he was born in Iran, back then Khorasan (todays afghanistan) and Iran (and also Tajikistan) were ONE country, and they ALL were (and still ARE) PERSIANS, if you had slightest info you would know this, people speak Parsi in Khorasan and Tajikistan BECAUSE THEY ARE PERSIAN.

    he (Rumi) then HAD to live his homeland because of the war and moved to Anatolia, Turkey NEVER EXISTED BACK THEN,

    TURKEY IS A HIJACKED LAND BY TURKO-MONGOLS, IT BELONGS TO KURDS, GREEKS, ARMENIANS BUT TURKS.

  • Khorasan is now also in usbekistan near turkistan (samarkant Buchara for ex.).there evrywhere live turks. and turks are not mongols you persian stupid Iranian shit hadijiz. we are from seldjuck mevlana came to the seldjuck in konya. becouse he was turkish!! Mongols diferent. you son of batman Mullahs. what do the do in iran now they fuck with girls of ten years. HasbiyAllah!!

  • turke khar lol...love mowlana from afghanistan...he has our blood..

  • which is a mix of Persian, Indo-Russian and even Chinese( the mongols) etc...

    besides, if thick headed afghans could understand him then he wouldn't have had to move to Baghdad.

  • So what? his poems are in Farsi, no matter where he was born or died, or what you think. Exactly in this poemhere, Rumi is saying that he doesn't belog to any nationality, so I really don't understand why, and why you insist he is Turkish!! I don't care where he was from, but just keep in YOUR mind that his poems are INDEED in FARSI. And... I think he belongs to all human beings

  • This poems are not farsi they are Osmanic. mix of arabic, turkish and farsi in original ."he belongs to all human beings" thats true!! so why all persians say he was persian?? thats not true!! he belogs to the turk. why this stupid people in iran call us turks Donkey? hafis,Shams-i Tabrizi where persian i love them both even like Mevlana! Sufisim lives only in turkey now. where is Bulbul and Gul in your country.Dark Mullahs are the persians now!!

  • hahaha!!!!

    That was the funniest thing I had read in weeks!

    Man, get some educations ASP!!!

    His poems ARE IN PERSIAN! stop bullshitting!!!

  • There was no Afghanistan back then. What today is called Afghanistan was part of Persia (indeed the major cities of Persia in the medival times were in today Afghanistan and Tajikestan.)

    Rumi seeked refuge in Turkey as a result of Mongolian invasion, he lived a few years there before he died.

    All of his poems are also in Persian. He read previous Persian poets and philosopher and wrote in persian. It's very absord to say that he was Turkish just because his grave happens to be there!

  • Bigâne megrit mera ezin kûyem Der kûyi şûma hane-i hud micûyem Düşman neyem ez çend ki düşmen ruyem Aslen Türkest eğerçi Hindû gûyem

    Mevlana C.R.

  • this is my favorite poem by rumi .. thank u soo much for posting it!!

  • can anyone please tell me what is the name of the song that play in the background and who is the composer

  • well it is not a song it is a poem by the greatest poet Mawlana Jalaludin Balkhi (Rumi) whow as from Afghanistan and then went to Rome that's why he is Called Rumi all his poems are in Dari (persian) Afghani Language he was a muslim and all his poems should be understood completly to understand Allah

  • He was born in Balkh (Afghanistan)

    He is a proud Afghan!

  • then ur a batard that doesnt know where his father from .

  • Thank you for introducing yourself. Could you clarify your point, so I may understand you?

  • This is what I learned from Rumis poem: What really counts is that we belong to "the soul of the beloved". All other things are of lesser importance. We honour the Lover most by respecting and loving each other. All other things are of lesser importance.

  • it looks like a lot of people here do not understand rumi's poetry (or perhaps poetry in general).

    an essential islamic trait is to be humble and ready to learn from stimuli.

    many of us Muslims lack that. As the hadith says: We are "like the foam of the ocean!"

  • No, he was persian ! Anyway thats not the point i quess you didn't get his message on this poem anyway !

  • he belongs to no entity or group. Nor of this world or of the next. True, he blongs to the soule of the beloved " human beings"

  • Rumi was born in Balkh, true. and Balkh is in today Afghanestan, true. However, back then there was no Afghanestan, and Balkh was part of Iran/Persia.

  • rumi was Turkish from persia they live olso there :-)

  • stop stealing other nations history and culture.

  • your culture :-) your history :-)

    Hafiz is yours yes i love him but not Rumi rumi is ours and not evry one in Persia is a Persian.

  • "Rumi is Ours"??????

    "Hafiz is yours"????

    thats the most stupid comment i ever heard some one said,

    but if you mean Rumi was from any background except Persian, you are dead wrong, he was born in a Persian family, from a Persian Father and mother, in a Persian city,

    he spoke Persian, and wrote in Persian,

    when nations like Arabs or Turko-mongols dont have any thing to be proud of or to build up their culture, they steal it from others!

  • alot of mombo jumbo.

  • I AM SHE

  • and i am He!

  • Yes We Are They!

  • who are we......

  • Please don't find excuses not to follow the religion...a lot of us want to live an easy life and try to justify their false lives by discarding religion.

  • Who can voice the truth? Who can express the essence of our nature and release the wonderment of our totality? Every breathe we take, every explanation we introduce or definition we exhale is but the very dance of the beloved. The meanings fall and shatter and collapse into their own emptiness. For meanings and labels are destinations that separate us from who we truly are, movement. We are the motion of the dance the beloved has envoked.

  • I'm sorry..

    maybe my comments or tusan 1's are too strange for general people..

    It's really hard for everybody to understand it..

    I know it.. at the first time I was confuse and disagree with every perseption like that.. but that's okey.. it's normal condition that every people has diffrent thinking about something in this life..

    But 1 thing that for me this is important.. I still believe in god.. Allah is my lord..

    Sorry my english isn't good enough.. I'm from indonesia..

    I love ur video^^

  • I agree with tosan 1's comments..

  • Ironically, people who name god (be it Allah, Lord, Yahveh, AhuraMazda,...) do not believe in a "true" god as their god is created by their own imagination. It is a paradox. god is supposed to create you, not you to create god.

    Hence, traditions like Budhasim which do not objectify the truth and don't give any identity to the truth, are much closer to the truth than stratified religions which elaborate on god. food for thought!

  • bebin beshin ro kiram..allah allah jehova mehova o azin kosho shera vase nanat kon..

    to ke engdhar zer mizani bajad bedoni ke..sokhan bedone adab yahni sefr hanidkappe badbakht taze gohe rumiam mikhore... fuck u and ure buddism crap.. zardtoshti and rumi is all we need u fucker...dont preech about persian culture our rumi with ure mixed japanse chinese crap..and dont insult people cause this is the reaction

  • touchie,touchie,touchie!!!!!

  • Just because you have a name for God, for instance Allah, which literally means The One God, doesn't mean that you created God. Some of us believe in revelation and a Creator that wants to be known. God has given us the gift of language so we use it, and what more beautiful a word then the One, Allah.

  • Allah was a pagan god (an idol man-made god) in pre-Islamic Arabia (Arab-e Jaheliat).

    I always feel sorry for Iranians who bend over an Arabic idol! Ignorance is a bad dard!

  • You should save your pitty for yourself, looking at history selectively will only leave you ignorant. Allah, literally meaning "the one God" was the God of Abraham. During the time of ignornce the Arabs made an idol representing Him. Though I assure you "The one God" was a concept that goes further back than the time of ignorance, a time which you still seem to be living in.
