Listen "A light within his light- Rumi"
Episode Synopsis
This particular translation is by Coleman Barks. It shares Rumi's love for Shams beautifully. I am particularly fond of the way it ends - " if you see me, be careful/ tell no-one what you have seen." Maybe this is why Rumi never wrote his name at the end of any of his poems/ghazals.
