What Am I?

[AUGUSTABALLET]

RUMI BELONGS TO THE WORLD. IT IS ART.

yes Hadijiz, Kharazmi was Persian without doubt. But The House of Wisdom (Arabic: بيت الحكمة‎; Bait al-Hikma) was a key institution in the Translation Movement - a library and translation institute in Abbassid-era Baghdad, Iraq.[1] It is considered to have been a major intellectual center of the Islamic Golden Age. So this place was centre of learning at the time not Persia. You are very angry person! Chillout.

@ghali2, U R Wrong. I posed this question to provoke thinking, researching & reflecting. The original poem is written in Persian (Phârsi) & Rumi was a Sufi Moslem, yet Rumi says he is neither a Parsi ... nor a Moslem, nor a Jew, nor ....

Why?

It's obvious that what you & hadjiz are trying to do here is to reverse what Rumi is saying in "What am I?", downgrade Arabs & Persians & turn them against each other. I wonder how this could benefit you two?

What have you two got to gain?

[ghaly2]

first of all u have all the hate and that hadijiz the ignorant , i said that its arabic because i heard it in arabic language by egyptian sufi and they dance sufi dance which rumi invented and hes stupid and its nothing i would ever be proud of it to be arab stuff , and egyptians and north african arab countries got alot of sufies , but ur the hater , i didnt say anything about persian ! because i dont care about them !

[DariusPars]

Well done! Awesome!

Which language were these verses translated from?

[hadijiz]

what kind of Persian does not know who Rumi was?

[DariusPars]

Dear hadijiz, A thoughtful person would never post the first thing that comes to his mind. U & ghaly2 both have given not only the wrong answers to my question but also went against what Rumi is trying to say here. Judging by the discriminatory responses that u both have given, u both seem 2b exactly the same type of person. U both need to understand what Rumi is trying to say in "What am I". Before you post your next comment, please think first, understand; only then try to be understood.

dariuspars, what a wise and thoughtful response demonstrating the very essense of Rumi's teaching...I accidentally checked this video in my attempt to check out the various nation states in south central eurasia which emerged since the debacle of the soviet union

The Great Rumi is soooo right. Some freaks should learn this and stop bothering bothering people for no obvious reason.
