a Summary, etc Molana Jalal Eldin Mohammad Balkhi Rumi is the most famous Iranian poet across the globe. His full name is Jalal Eldin Mohammad, known in the West as Rumi. Rumi’s poems have been translated into many languages. Most of the translations are not from the original Farsi text, and with few exceptions, are done without the translator having the prerequisite knowledge of Persian language, culture, and history. Consequently, the formative beauty, musicality of Rumi's poems, their depth of meaning, and the mystical concepts therein, are lost in translation. Shahin Motallebi has made selected Rumi poems more accessible to Rumi fans by using contemporary English words, symbols, and imagery, while keeping their mystical meaning, beauty of form and musicality intact. Rumi With a View to other Persian Mystic Poets is a collection of poems by Rumi, from Ghazaliat Shams Tabrizi and Masnavi, and selected poems by other Perrsian mystic poets, namely Hafez, Saadi, Moshiri, Sepehri, Yooshij, and Azar.
