  • haha, it is a poem about God, not about women!

  • @modibbo0607 my good friend its a poem about love, that can manifest in God or a man or a woman. Sufism sees femininity in Gods attributes too....

    Take care

    Peace and Love

  • NOT mEvlana but

    mAwlana ok

    dont claim his poetry my dear TURKS ok! :)

  • @TheAFGpersiangirlAFG in turkish its mevlana and mawlana in persian...

    He belongs to all...

    Regards..

  • @zainjaffery

    "he belongs to all"

    but he was not from turkey he was from balkh/bactria afghanistan.

  • In english you have one word to describe love and that's the word "love" but in other languages like Turkish you have many words like ashq and sevgi, ashq iss actually for Allah and sevgi foryour mother, brother, man, ..... because when Allah will open our heart he only wants to see love for Allah

  • By the way, Mevlana has written in 3 languages; persian, turkish and arabic, but I have read in his poems that the comes from the Turks and that he actually is a Turk, he has written many love poems but that's not the love we now, but it's the love for Allah.

  • Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi is one of the greatest poets from Afghanistan

  • Zende baad Mardome Iran zamin

  • Make up or Wake up?..

  • Thank you so much! This is exactly

    for my soul, marvellous.I will come to you my sweetheart...

  • Another great Persian poet

  • seriuos alert to all muslim and non muslims- dont blame for anything in this world.all r saying one god,but if u r going to blame someone, or a thing- that shows u r not beliving any god and any religioun, ifso u r trying to convince that god has no power. about great rumi he found the god within him.....it has to taste ourself only- about his poem says- allow the soul to enter in our body. .

  • a naked photo in a mevlana video cant be acceptable..try to research what Mevlana celaleddin rûmi was a person for

  • Jalāl ad-Dīn Muḥammad Balkhī (Persian: جلالالدین محمد بلخى), also known as Jalāl ad-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmī (Persian: جلالالدین محمد رومی), and popularly known as Mowlānā (Persian: مولانا) but known to the English-speaking world simply as Rumi[2] (30 September 1207 – 17 December 1273), was a 13th-century Persian (Tajik) 100% TAJIK 

  • Beautiful paintings and Rumi's wise words - together they reach out and touch one's heart and soul. It should speak to all of us regardless of our race, creed or culture. Lovely Post.

  • Except for the put down on animals, the poem is beautiful, very beautiful. The few comments below show how horrible those whose thinking is wrapped in religion and race can be. Most of the World has learned to disregard race, but half of humanity (including the greater portion of Muslims) are religious bigots. A CONFIDENTIAL poll of Muslims revealed that 60% agreed with killing kaffir (especially Jews and Americans) even if they would not do so themselves. They give power to terrorists.

  • @steamanchor It is lie..Americans and Jews are attacking innocent Muslıms, in Iraq 1.5 million died.Stop trying to justisfy your murders; at least under this video.Majority of my friends are Muslıms and I live in a country where the majority of population is Muslım,the people cry for Jews,Japans,Americans,Africans too . You have no right to intervene our states. JUST TRY TO LEARN FROM POEM.

  • @steamanchor 60% ? ahhhhh! GET OUT!

  • I can see racism here!listening to Rumi and still racist?listen with your heart :) he is an adorable human being...Cheers for human spirit!

  • Rumi is all about divine love

    so come on sweet heart let's adore one another

    Thank you so much for this great video

    Love light peace and joy

  • @sunshinesray1 Hay dumb ass, Mulana was an Afghan because he was born in the Balkh province of Afghanistan. He was 11 years old when he left Afghanistan. You are a douchebag like all other Iranians. You think every famous person in the world is an Iranian. Jackass wake up, and understand the truth. Mulana was an Afghan so is Syed Jamaluddin Afghan and Amir Alisher Nawae, Jamee Herawi, Abu Ali Sena Balkhi, Nizami and so many others. Secondly Afghanistan has a rich history of five thousand years

  • @sahil777chishti

    what do you afghans have now, ah , i guess talliban and over 90 percent illiterate people and terrorism and opium cultivation and women honour killing and list goes on in shitty direction, you are in bottom list in all negative aspects in the world, dude you are shame of humanity and molana, you now what he scaped from afghanistan because there were lots of ignorant people like you lived there at his time, by the way afghanistans name has less than 200 years history

  • from konya,turkey rumii

  • This poem is so strong. I cant bear to listen. But I want to listen still. It makes me strange. I dont know what to do.

  • Very beautiful and touching!

  • wow Sultan thank you for helping me discover this.

  • wow Sultan thank you for helping me discover this.  I would love to join you at this concert, are u going?

  • Beautiful, Beautiful!

  • Rumi's aim was to spread love between poeple and poeples. Please people don't let the hate and Racism take over you, you are stronger then those to diabolic feelings!

  • it isnt easy to understand mevlanas thought . when he mentions wine or beautiful or love ..., he is talking about the beauty of creater love of him and wine , talking about geting drunk in creaters way as you become in love of him . not the girl or wine or .... it isnt every ones job to underestand mevlana nor to make comment about his poetry .

  • Such a beautiful voice. I worked out the link for facebook

  • Does anyone know the word pedoni in the song? I would like to get a link to this if possible please to put it on my facebook page to share with my friends as it is a favourite of mine. Thanks

  • @angelFB01

    the Ottoman language is Türkish.but alphabet is arabic and farsi.today , we are useing latin alphabet.one day,we will use our alphabet(old Turkish alphabet)

  • @burakkk55 yes ottomans language was arabic and when you said , ' and farsi ' you must underestand that farsi is olso arabic too . we have few alphabets in the world . arabic latin greek chainese hindu and few more . and either way we must use one of these . turkey uses latin which isnt ours and old turkish also isnt ours either . unless you want to creatae completly new alphabet thats intirly different matter .

  • @m98m99 only alphabet s arabic and farsi.language Türkish.

  • @burakkk55 kardes ben farcayi cok iyi biliyorum arapcayida bir az bilirim turkcemide iste doruyorsun . farca alfabesi diye bir sey yok ( turkcenin olmadigi gibi ) farca arpca alfabesini kullaniyor ama sen farcayi sevebilirsin ve tercih ede bilirsin o baska mesele . fakat farsca diye bir alfabe mevcut degildir . . saygilar

  • @burakkk55 o konuda haklısın yanlış yazdım.farsçadan Türkçeye geçen kelimeler olduğu gibi Türkçedende farsçaya geçen kelimeler vardır.

    yalnız bizim (osmanlının) konuştuğu dil Türkçeydi.alfabesi arap alfabesiydi.

  • @burakkk55 My goodness, there was no Turkey at the time ! You should have read the translations ! Look at Wikipedia or any other Encyclopedia. He wrote in the language Persian (Farsi). I have read many of his works in Farsi (Persian).

  • Love it thanks, beautiful.

  • So beautiful the poetry, the music and your voice. I like the Farsi accent. It brought a tear to my eye as i could feel the love. God bless you!

  • Rumi was not Arab,Persian,Turk,Afghan,Kurd,­Tajik,Pashtun. He was a MUSLIM & i love him because i love ALLAH and His Messenger.

    To all those among you who fight about what nationality Rumi was, be aware that Islam has no nationalities while Rumi is near his Lord. Clean your heart and purify your soul rather than arguing. Unite in the name of Love and Islam. ALLAH al-Wadud--> ALLAH is Love

  • @ArabianRhythm I hear what you are saying but more than that, whilst Rumi was a Muslim, I think that ultimately he regarded himself as just a human being without label and would advocate uniting in the name of that rather than islam alone. Look up his poem "Only Breath"

  • @mitralara, a typical non-muslim answer, I've read it a million times here on youtube, all coming from non-muslims. Yeah let's try an disconnect him from islam cause... you know... muslims are ignorant and terrorists. There are no wise, intelligent and good muslims right?. My dear, Rumi's "poetry" is an interpretation of ONE THIRD of the Holy Qur'an. Please don't teach a muslim about Mawlānā Jalāl-ad-Dīn Muhammad, we know all about him.

  • @urbanguru Listen,I don't mind you having your interpretation on things,we are entitled to enjoy difference + debate.However,please do not speak for my opinions on the muslim world, considering my family come from a muslim country, and are all wise, good and intelligent.I certainly do not buy into any terrorist prejudice. What do you know about who I am or what religion I am or my background?It is sad that you should be so defensive when I have not implied any of the things you accuse me of.

  • @urbanguru oh and p.s I don't deny that Rumi was a muslim + based on islamic mystisicm.As he said though, ultimately he regarded himself as a "breath breathing human being" that is deep because it shows his tolerance, openmindedness etc etc, something we could all learn from. Just be sure in yourself, it does not matter ultimately how you define yourself, your actions matter and what you do.Oh + since my family come from the same place as Rumi, please don't claim you own all knowledge of him.

  • @mitralara, You are right of course and I'm sorry if I was a bit harsh, it's just that I'm sick of the western propaganda against muslims and Islam. I've read many of the comments about Rumi here on youtube and many claim to "know" Rumi, yet they are spitting on Islam and The Qur'an and everything that Rumi held dear. They are unaware that Mevlana's and all the other mystics of Islam primary source of inspiration was Prophet Muhammad (saws) and The Holy Qur'an. So I apologize again...

  • @urbanguru well said brother

  • @mitralara, Oh, and you should whatch the video I just uploaded :). It's about tolerance and justice in the Qur'an...

  • @ArabianRhythm

    noo HE WAS PERSIAN

    and enjoy his poems and his brilliance

    the world does

    trust me if he were arab...you would never make the above comment/statement

    enjoy his poetry and chill out

    :))

  • @Sunshinesrays1

    shut your ignorant face. He was Muslim ! He never claimed to be Persian, in fact he was from Balkh which is modern Afghanistan. But it is funny to see ignorant like u promoting he was persian when the bitter truth is that he promoted Islam and spirituality.

    chill out, or go spread your BS somewhere else!

  • @ArabianRhythm

    loool

    hi clown!

    HE WROTE IN FARSI (MODERN DAY FARSI)...not DARI, NOT ARABIC, NOT CHINESE, NOT SWAHILI

    and clown there was NO modern day afghanistan what afghanistan??

    THAT NEVER EXISTED...

    it was PERSIAN EMPIRE

    and again his poems were in FARSI...and in his poems he mentions cities such as tabriz, shiraz, etc. HE WAS FARSI ...not jarab nor cave dwelling afghan

    bye bye jarab

    :))

  • Comment removed

  • hey All lets not argu instead we sud listen his priceless poem enjoy ourslvs in Love.let sink ourslvs in his knowldge of ocean , his tru love identification, intimacy wiv Allah.Don't u know dat poets r universal, dey dont hav any race nor even any geographical id.evrybody love dem no matter where dey frm who dey r.lets love each other as we all r human being.......My Dear all friends...............

  • And Ottoman's alphabet was Arabic,in Turkish republic Atatürk changed Turkish alphabet -1925- and now we are using latin alphabeth in Turqie.

  • I'm from Turqie my name is Eylul..Mevlana was born in Konya,Konya is a city in Turqie,he lived in Anatolia 1207-1273 at that time our govermant was Ottoman Empire.

    He wrote his poem Turkish,Farsi,Arabic because Ottomans language was mixed..

  • @angelFB01 Im turkish too. mevlana wasnt born in Konya. He moved to there from persia. just do some research.

  • he was Turkish but he never had any Turkish Poem? how stupid can some one be to call him Turk when all his Poem was in FARSI ??

    get over it and educate the fuck your self There was no Afghanistan back in Time there was Persia = IRAN

  • @ba2kbabak Turkish poems was in farsi too (mostly) cause turki language wasnt used in literature except public songs. Religious or high literature things all in farsi or arabic in ottoman. Mevlana was farsi we know. but he moved to anatolia and became rumi. He knew our language too. He became rumi.

  • @ba2kbabak

    when you are dealing with jarab or "ghar" nesheen (afghanii-a) entezare zeead khoobii nadashte bash

    :)

  • Mevlana was a TURKİSH...He lived in Ottoman Empire

  • @TonyParamatti: Rumi was a Tajik and he lived in Persia. :)

  • He lived in TURKEY...He lived in KONYA..Please learn.

    His grave is in Turkey at the moment..He was a friend with Ottoman sultans..

  • @TonyParamatti

    HE WAS PERSIAN

    soo what if and where he lived

    the CEO of youtube AN IRANIAN lives in the STATES

    and??

    :))

  • Yes they know about that region before Afghanistan was created about 200 years ago, about maps, Balkh, and part of which country it was before the creation of respected Afghanistan, & about the Persian language (aka Farsi, Tajiki & Dari) being exactly one and the same language, also as used today. Refer to my earlier comments and you will see that I acknowledge Afghanistan & Balkh being a city in preset day Afghanistan, and other things related to J.M.B., and his view (including on nations).

  • It is a sad scene to see the typical ignorant Iranians at full work to claim a historical figure who has absolutely nothing to do with them.

    My question is: do they even have proper maps in Iran, because they can't seem to see BALKH properly on the map?

  • Rumi was born in the city of balkh, modern day mazar-e-sharif in Afghanistan. His influence is still great there.

  • @lilmissAfg

    RUMI or MOLANA was PERSIAN

    ALL HIS POEMS n work, ALL, WERE IN FARSI (LANGUAGE SPOKEN IN IRAN), AND not dari (spoken by afghans)

    REMEMBER THAT ENTIRE REGION AND BEYOND WAS PART OF THE GREAT PERSIAN EMPIRE. NOWADAYS, BALKH FALLS IN MODERN DAY AFGHANISTAN

  • @Sunshinesrays1 دوست عزیز اولان اشعار مولانا به زبان دری است البته اگر شما در مورد آن اطلاعاتی داشته باشید؟ دومأ زبان اول شما دری بوده نه فارسی امروزی...اگر شما واقعأ چیزی از زبان دری میفهمید لطفأ به من بگویید تفاوت بین فارسی و دری چیست اگر افغانستان زمانی جزو امپراتوری ایران بوده ایران هم زمانی جزو امپراتوری عرب بوده پس دانشمندان ایرانی أن زمان هم عربی بوده اند؟

  • @afghanpersian1 vallla ma hamasho farsi khondim.yadam nemiad darii bashe ke nafahmim.

  • @Sunshinesrays1

    :) what do you want to tell us?

    they say he was turk he was persian he was rum , but he says I am from LOVE(light)!

    what the hell you are talking about??

    What do you expect  what is your reason to speak about family tree?? or emperialist shits! go away

  • @JanisdEhun

    RUMI or Molana was PERSIAN...his works were all done in MODERN PERSIAN LANGUAGE

    information is all available out there in the REAL WORLD...suggest you try to learn a bit...

    and by the way, YOUR COMMENT MADE NO SENSE WHATSOEVER...ahahaaa

    ooh its "imperialist" by the way. EMPERIALIST?!

    :))

    it would soo explain your rage, uncontrollable anger...look at your message ...

    F this F that...

    why?? cause the truth soo bothers you?

    afghans=pakis soo mentally screwed/unstable (in so many ways)

    :))

  • @lilmissAfg

    modern DAY afghanistan

    PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS THE GREATER PERSIAN EMPIRE

  • ........ His influences are known, 1. Sufism (the new modified version) that blossomed & came out from Iran & the Iranian culture. He mentioned many times in his poems about Attar Neishabouri's influence & one time he mentioned Sanaie, & you already know about Shams Tabrizi.

  • He was in his late 20s to early 30s when he moved to Konya, & already married to Gohar. Anatolia?? The Seljuks conquered Iran (Persia) when migrating westward from central Asia, & in Iran (Persia) became Iranians themselves. But Kharazmshahian were in power when his family moved westward (when he was young). ...............

  • Sufi poems takes a great deal of understanding and it is actually not poem as we know, rather a language that takes a certain dicipline to understand,

    You have to be truth seekers in order to grasp what is being said and the best litrary words are HIS i.e ALLAH.

    If you like mastery in language, then read the book who challenges humanity as a whole to produce at least a short chapter which consist of three verses like it, if in doubt. Read the Holy Quran.

  • @abuladula, Amen brother!

  • you should read the history, than you know what is real und you know more from persian empire, persian cultur,,,,

    Once to Turkish people, the unique thing that Rumi did in Tureky was tu die looool

    His Poem he wrote only in persian, Farsi

    the Language of Iran

  • Rumi lived most of its life in Seldjuk Turkey, he was a citizen of the Seldjuk empire besides Rumi was a SUNNI and not SHIA like most farsi. You should read some history before claiming him.

  • Rumi was from Afghanistan, the Dari dialect of Farsi is the language Rumi wrote his poems in and that is the language if Afghanistan

  • @lilmissAfg no u foool he wrote his poems in MODERN FARSI not backwards koftah kabob darii in his poems mentions great Iranians cities...such as Tabriz, shiraz, in FARSI FARSI FARSI lool :)) what about ferdosi?? lool he has poems RIDICULING afghans should I send them to you?? :))
  • @kianoosch rumi are the ppl who live in rumi (roman cities in anatolia-todays turkey). He was borned as farsi but he moved to Konya. He became rumi.

  • my beloved Rumi, his words flow like nectar from the Beloved herself admonishes: "let's rise above this animalistic behavior/and be kind to one another". he demonstrates the passage beyond all boundaries, no creed, no religion, no race, only one humanity! This is so beautifully rendered. thank you

  • Dear Mohi355,

    I didnt deny Balkh being in Afghanistan today and do not know what you "corrected", please read what I wrote again and you will see (and nor did I deny Afghanistan's existence).

    My comments were based on historic facts.

    And furthermore, I wish the people & countries of Afghanistan, Turkey (and other people and countries) the best. God bless & peace.

  • (last note):

    At his time the nations of Afghanistan and Turkey didnt exist, they were created centuries later. He was from Iran and the province of Khorasan and finally moved and settled in Konya (present day Turkey). Khorasan, the name itself is very revealing, it means where the sun rises, relative to the rest of the country, east of the rest of the provinces in Iran.

  • Correction:

    Rumi is born in Balkh in todays Afghanistan.

  • @77negaresh at his time iran didnt exist either.

  • Dear Territorialafghan We have to agree to disagree. I based my explanation on unbiased history when I wrote some notes about Jalaledin M.

    I also wrote about why they called that province Khorasan and explained the meaning, I also acknowldeged that Balkh is in present day Afghanistan, and made other notes also.

  • Comment removed

  • Part 3 (final part):

    This is not being done for other languages (like changing the names of English, French, Latin, and Arabic into multiple new names), ask yourselves why is that? Linguistically speaking, Persian, Dari and Tajiki are one and the same language and have been known by this name for centuries by other people. His family moved westward due to his father having problems with some in power, not him, he was very young at the time. I hope this helps.

  • PART 2:

    The Persian language which was his language and spoke and wrote with, is understood and is used today in Iran, Afghanistan and Tajikistan, it hasn't changed. In Iran people read his poems (in Masnavi Manavi & Divan-e Shams-e Tabrizi). There is a dubious effort to change the name of the Persian language in English, into multiple and different new language names. This is not being done ...

  • Part 1 :

    Human beings like Jalaledin Mohamad Balkhi (aka Molavi, Molana & Rumi) belong to everyone, he surpasses national boundaries. However for the sake of historic correctness, and due to reading some recent comments here, I hope that this helps. Also, he himself didnt believe in national boundaries, but he was from somewhere (from a certain nation, civilization, and culture). (continued)

  • woow i read comments below and shocked each side trying to convince each other that he is Afgh or irani or turk. guys listen to his poem. TAJIK IRAN AFGH ARAB AZERI CHECHEN INDONISAN ALL THE MUSLIM COUNTRIES WE ALL MUSLIMS.

  • dear friends rumi's message indicates every about him and what he wanted from his lover just like prophets dont belong certain groubs but if any one wants to become like rumi he must think like rumi face those invironments he has been true and just think what was the mind of rumi if you think like him you are already becoming him. (if you say he belongs to me or us or this or that then you are going away from him )

  • if you are a lover of mawlana or mavlawi just remember that you should love him only the way he wanted to be love he belongs to every one not just afghans or turks or tajiks etc his best friend was killed by the people who always argued that he is ours and they were so jeolous of him being with shams that they killed shams how ever it is better to see what is inside the cup then to fight for the cup (from his own poetry) forms are accidents soul and heart is the real

  • Regardless of the topict i like your expression "Forms are accidents soul and hearth is the real"

    as to the topic it is terribly ironic to make nationalization on personalities like Rumi, whoes message is above all discriminations, and perfectly humanist.

    Yet i am turk, which doesn't count on the subject.

  • I guess that is described here other a mevlana. because I've learned so far Mevlana Celaleddin-i Rumi told about human&Allah love[FIRST] from his mesnevies. human&human love is second and human&nature love is third for him. here are comments described to other a mevlana. all the world and aliens knows Mevlana Celaleddin-i Rumi is from Konya in Ottoman. but main important thing can right to know him. To be able to do it first need to know his sheikh Şems-i Tebrizî

  • i do agree with most of what you said but only one correction....

    Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi (Balkhi) was born and raised in Balk/ Mazar Shareef province of Afghanistan. He travelled all around the world to seek more knowledge. There was a conflict between him and the king of that time so he was caste away from Afghanistan forever. He does talk about being cast away in many of his poems directly or indirectly. It is a pitty for Afghanistan to lose such a scholar but his persian poems always ....

  • Rumi was born in balkh what was part of the great seldjuk empire, but his family moved to anatolia when he was a small child. He grew up in anatolia (anatolian Seldjuk empire). His family still exists in Turkey.

  • ....but his Dari (ancient persian and the national language of Afghanistan) poems always keep him part of us and us part of him.....

    So in modern language you can say he was an Afghan-Turk.

  • Mulana betray Turks , Cuz he used Persian as his primary language . What a turk. if he was alive today the Turkish government would hang him. Or the wise People of Turkey would burned him alive. A persian speacking Turk , Oh my God how embarrassing.

  • kofy2000 there is no secondary of primary love. Love is different concept than love we all know as is.I don't want to confuse your mind but I think you should read somethings of Rumi.

  • who cares!! ..do you even think of what he is trying to say here..unity for all ..love for all regardless of borders and country's, Rumi is from my heart because he talks my heart language and yours ..he make me proud as a human not as Iranian or Afghan or Turk ..step out of your little space and see the world as him...a poet!

  • mevlana was born in balkh(today a city in afghanistan),but he lived for a long time in anatolia (today konya a city in turkey) and died there.........Peace

  • Mowlana /Rumi was A AFGHAN and hi was born IN BALKH IN AFGHANISTAN . balkh in not in persian.....

  • Hz. Mevlânâ, devrinin sosyal şartlar gereği Farsça yazmış; ancak özbeöz Türktür; bu yüzden de Anadolu'da şekillenen müslüman-Türk kültür ve inanç dünyasının temel taşlarındandır.

  • He would not accept this video, if he saw that his poems are used with nude women picture. So he says:

    "As long as I bear this soul in my body

    I will remain a humble servant of the Qur'an

    I will be the soil of the path of the chosen Muhammad

    WHOEVER INCORRECTLY CONVEYS MY WORDS

    KNOW THAT I AM FAR FROM HIM AND HIS WORDS...."

    It is not correct to make him a New-Age personality outside of Islam. His words' source is Islam, and can not be told as different things!

  • it's just a poem and Rumi died a long time ago. You cannot say how me may or may not have seen beauty in the paintings dipicted, he's dead. Don't assume what you don't know.

  • There's a program underway to excavate Balkh, Afghanistan by the British archeologists. Hopefully, it's successful and we find some of these artifacts.

  • Mevlana!

  • Rumi was born in Balkh= Afghanistan. But he found and developed himself in Turkey with Şems. He found real love to the GOD. Nobody change history because everything all square.

  • Rumi was born in Balkh= Afghanistan. But most important is, that he was a man of the world. Treat him like that!

  • @THESIS100

    modern day afghanistan WHICH BEFORE THAT AREA OF THE WORLD (AND BEYOND) WAS PART OF THE GREATER PERSIAN EMPIRE

    RUMI WAS PERSIAN OR MODERN DAY IRANIAN. ALL HIS WORK WAS DONE IN FARSI AND never ever dari (which is commonly spoken in afghanistan)

    from one of his works:

  • Rumi is a great persian poet. You, Turkish people, can't change the history. So, be quiet & enjoy the video !

  • The whole world accepts rumi as a turk. the official festivals take place in konya (turkey) where he lived and died. all his lovers around the world come to konya (turkey) to be close to him.

  • famous people, intellectuals who read rumi wish to be buried in konya when they die.

  • Comment removed

  • I could give easy answers to that. But i don't see any sense in discussing any further.. selam.

  • No, you can't. He wrote in Farsi/Dari. He was born in Balkh which is now located in Afghanistan.

  • Mevlana is a turkish guy he lives in Turkey/ Konya

  • I consider Afghans who speak Pashtu Iranian people and we are brothers. The greater Khorasaan was part of Iran for thousands of years and if it wasn't for the Brits, we would still be one. It's just an imaginary line on a map, we speak the same language and share many things culturally.

    Anyways, Rumi's message is about love and we should all be proud of him as a region.  Iranians, Afghans, Turks, if you love Movlana and really understand his work, where he was from should not matter to you.

  • What a beautiful commentary, the Farsi accent has a lovely melody. The poem and music touched my heart and soul. I love Rumi

  • Mevlana Jalaluddine, son of Afghanistan

    proud to be an Afghan.

  • intellectuals and poets/philosophers came from. the region known as herat, balkh and mahshad were know as Aria, read scriptures, of both Zartasht and Hinduism, dated back to 3 to 4k years. Balkh was the center of knowledge due to the location and what is known today as afghanistan was the center of east meeting west, north meeting south... thus many things have evolved here, esp knowledge cause people from different backgrounds came here to exchange ideas and merchandise. It was due to the......

  • LOL, yu guys are crazy. one this, HISTORY, start from 4.5 billion, then 3.5 billion which was the first sign of bacteria, a living organism. human DNA has many different species, a FACT. this is not a history class nor a biology class, but stop the stupidty. from the nile to euphrates, tigris to indus to the yellow river, CRADLES OF CIVILIZATION, that means that around 10k BC, neolithic period begun, (farming and domesitcation of animals), so, speaking of Rumi now, born in Balkh, where many.....

  • Mewlana Calalladdin Rumi Khorasans Platos to come Anatolia.. Mevlana yourself central asian Turk. Khorasan to migration Anatolia..other some like Turks

  • kir !!!! So how can you say that Persian are only the iranian.

    If that was the province.Then tell me the name of the country ???? Was it iran ? During that time there were many shah. Read about Kabul Shahan.

  • send me story of kabul shah

  • this is so beautiful!

  • Just beautiful... You see poetry and love are Universal and brakes all frontiers of nationality and religion.

    I am a fanatic of Sufi and Zen poetic traditions.

    And I hope that Shareen saw this and it had soften her heart towards her friend.

  • this video does not correspond with the meaning of the poem...!

  • Listen to Ahmad Zahir. His was died 30 year ago. Hi was a great afghan singer. 60 % poems of him songs are by M. J. Balkhi- Rumi. Hi was a great man in Balkh. Balkh is a sity in Afghansitan.

  • these images does n't corresponde to what the Moulana Rumi is saying infact ....for sure this video is a compilation of low level mind..Alas!!! its done by muslims

  • Rumi's poems say that every judgement you make about other people is a mirror of your own mind.

  • @freesea11, That's true. That's why we have the Qur'an to be judged by... or do you prefer to live in a state of anarchy where everyone is "just accepting everything"?

  • prabhu. this is the word you search for within your ideological dilemma. Prabhu is master defined. To become master,learn not from bad masters,master yourself. If you contain humilty it will flow out of you like blood.

    if you love love is what you will experience.

    if you have humilty you will know that this love did not originate from you.

  • "Now, you should know that Muhammad (PBUH) is the leader and guide.

    As long as you don't come by Muhammad (PBUH) first, you won't reach us."

    - Mowlana Jalaluddin Rumi (RA)

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

    I am the dust on the path of Muhammad (PBUH), the Chosen One.

    If anyone quotes anything except this from my sayings,

    I am quit of him and outraged by these words"

    - Mowlana Jalaluddin Rumi (RA)

    THERE IS NO Tasawwuf (Sufism) without the love of the P. Muhammad (PBUH)

  • Yes Rumi was born in Balkh which would be Afghanistan, but a Wali has no country, culture or language.

    His message is for everyone, to become one.

    Rumi & Love!

  • he is a bechon for all.dats all.sanan ahmad

    ]

  • Todays Afghanistan and part of Turkey were part of the great Iran at the time of Mowlana Jalaleddin Mohammad. So he is persian and his language is persian in his poems as like as Saadi and Hafez.

    Do not try to dedicate a common cultural history just for yourselves.

  • He was neither persian(Iranian) nor turk.He was khorasani. Long live khorasan. Khorasan is consisted of Samarkand, Buchara, Herat, Balch, Ghazni, Kabul,Maschhad, Tus und Nischapur.

    Rumi is just a example of khorasani liturature.

    We have Sana'i Ghazni, Abu ali sina, Al beruni, Nasir Khesrow Balkhi, Ferdosi, Bedil, Khyam, Al Farabi, Zarothusra the great ,Jami,Behazad(caligrapher and painter) should name some more ????? There are a dozen more.

    I am just dreaming re-relocating of this great country.

  • Wow! Great PERSIAN/IRANIAN Poet /philosopher

    Fantastic-

    Peria is land of genious

  • Rumi was born in the land that today is known as Afghanistan, not Iran.

  • exactly

  • i love mavalana saheb's poems. they have a very special meaning.

  • nice. thanx for sending it to me.

  • U guys are killing me whit talking about were rumi is from. I ask u just one more time then my love for u is gonne forever. Listen to what our teacher rumi is saying,he is talking about humanity and u are talking about who is beter ,iranien,turk,afgan, " I make home were ever I´am ".... Reza

  • Exactly. I don't tink he would care about any nationality or ethnic belonging.

  • rumi HATED turks? what else did rumi hate i missed out on something i guess. for some crazy reason i thought maybe rumi didnt care so much about race of a human being. you guys all should turn off from this site and never come back your kind of bickering is what rumi hated. rumi hated division and i hate you guys sorry i'm not an angel or a great kurdish goatherding nomad laying claims on persia lmao thnx for the history update here is a turk from europe for 500 years. what does NOW mean to you?

  • Oh damm I am so sad that i am not fully Iranic!

    I give a damm about Iran!

    I am first of all follower of rasoul Allah!

    To Islam is my loyality!

    And for Islam I would fight against pagan Iranis!

    Tell me what is Alavi?

  • hehe!

    I am more Iranian than you ever will be!

    Where is your proof that he was Alavi???!

  • by the way Rumi was in first line muslim and not a zoroastrian like you!

  • exactly!

  • Many lives have been sadly wasted in debate about 'this' or 'that' . Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi, through his poetry is reaching out to awaken the purfect Love in each of us which can be lived in every moment. Knowing this,....lay down your swords of differing opinions and love all your brothers.

  • at least someone is paying attention

  • forget it even the Ottomans< spoke persain and clearly they were Turks what is most important he chose to settle amongst Turks and if you go on his relative site, who will give a very good argument as to where his ancestry belong.

    Everyone that want to know please go to site dedicated to him in Konya.

    Thanks

    And to those that Belittle us Turks which one of you can boast of setting 16 empires???Turkic...

  • In the end of the ottoman empire 1/3 of Ottoman empire just was muslim.

    Maybe just 30% of them were muslim Turks.

    The rest was arab and iranian (kurd) origin!

    Mevlana was 100 % iranian origin but I think that's not that importanat!

  • I agree with this part : Nalat ba to zag, Talib/Al-Qaida, Salafi e Kaseef, kodak e Wahabi. Death with you dirty wahabi-salafi dogs. Dirty terrorists. zendabaad Khorasan, the real native country of great Maulana Jamaluddin Balkhi.

    Long live Afghanistan :)
