This research work is a comparative study of the Persian poet Jalal ad-Din Rumi and the American poet Walt Whitman. The first question which arises here is how far it is feasible to study these two poets, remote not only in time and space but also in culture, tradition, language, and nationality. The key phrase in this topic is 'Comparative Study.' Comparative Literary Study can be defined as an academic field dealing with the study of literature and cultural expressions across linguistic, national, and disciplinary boundaries. It "performs a role similar to that of the study of international relations, but work with languages and artistic traditions, to understand cultures from the inside." In short, Comparative Literature is "literature without borders." The present comparative study tries to investigate the common Sufi and transcendental elements in Rumi and Whitman and also the former's influence on the latter. Despite geographical, linguistic, and historical differences, certain common ideas seem to exist between the two poets and this makes this research on comparative study an interesting one. To compare and examine the Sufi notions Rumi's Mathnavi Manavi and Divan Shams and Whitman's Leaves of Grass have been considered in this research work. A glance at the previous studies of Rumi and Whitman reveals that the elements of 'Sufism' have been ignored in the poetry of Whitman. In the present study, the following questions have been enquired: What is 'Sufism'? How did it arise? What are its essential features? What is classical Persian Sufi poetry? Who are the masters of classical Persian Sufi poetry and how they have influenced Rumi? How has 'Sufism' influenced both Rumi and Whitman? Has Rumi influenced Whitman? What are the common Sufi elements in Rumi and Whitman? All in all, the mystical thoughts of both poets are so close, and because Rumi's mystical thoughts are interpreted in the field of 'Islamic mysticism' which is 'Sufism', hence, the strong affinity between the two poets has been investigated in terms of Sufi aspect. Evidence represented that Whitman was familiar with Persian poetry and Islamic mysticism, and he was inspired by the beauty of Sufi poetry. Both poets considered self-knowledge as the only way for salvation. Rumi and Whitman emphasized the soul of man, which is mixed with the Nature of immortality. They believed human eternal love is widespread in all creations. In their idea, annihilation can be achieved by love, which is the most important element of creation.

A collection of never-before-translated poems by the widely beloved medieval Persian poet Rumi. Rumi (1207-1273) was trained in Sufism--a mystic tradition within Islam--and founded the Sufi order known to us as the Whirling Dervishes, who use dance and music as part of their spiritual devotion. Rumi's poetry has long been popular with contemporary Western audiences because of the way it combines the sacred and the sensual, describing divine love in rapturously human terms. However, a number of Rumi's English translators over the past century were not speakers of Persian and they based their sometimes very free interpretations on earlier translations. With Western audiences in mind, translators also tended to tone down or leave out elements of Persian culture and of Islam in Rumi's work, and hundreds of the prolific poet's works were never made available to English speakers at all. In this new translation -- composed almost entirely of untranslated gems from Rumi's vast ouevre -- Brad Gooch and Maryam Mortaz aim to achieve greater fidelity to the originals while still allowing Rumi's lyric exuberance to shine.

The extensive body of work by 13th-century mystic poet Jelaluddin Rumi continues to fascinate readers with a taste for the spiritual, and his writings, which speak passionately of truth, enlightenment, and love for God, appeal to those of all religions. Translations of Rumi's writings by the contemporary poet Coleman Barks have sold more than 500,000 copies since 1981. Now acclaimed illustrator Michael Green -- who collaborated with Barks on The Illuminated Rumi -- has produced a new and fabulous mystic fusion of sacred poetry and art. This all-new volume features rare poems of Rumi, some of which have never before been translated. There are many collections of Rumi's poetry, but few are illustrated-and none as gorgeously as this full-color book. It is well positioned to capture the favor of spiritual seekers of all ages, including today's spiritually adventurous young adults.

The Soul of Rumi collects the poetry of the thirteenth century Persian mystic that explores the divine from the teachings of Sufism. Rumi’s masterpieces have inspired countless people throughout the centuries, and Coleman Barks’s exquisite renderings are widely considered the definitive versions. His translations capture the inward exploration and intensity that characterize Rumi’s poetry, making this unique voice of mysticism and desire contemporary while remaining true to the original poems. In this volume readers will encounter the essence of Sufism’s insights into the experience of divine love, wisdom, and the nature of both humanity and God. Rumi’s voice leaps off these pages with a rapturous power, expressing our deepest yearning for the transcendent connection with the source of the divine: there are passionate outbursts about the torment of longing for the beloved and the sweet delight that comes from union; stories of sexual adventures and of loss; poems of love and fury, sadness and joy; and quiet truths about the beauty and variety of human emotion. For Rumi, soul and body and emotion are not separate but are rather part of the great mystery of mortal life, a riddle whose solution is love. Above all else, Rumi’s poetry exposes us to the delight that comes from being fully alive, urging us always to put aside our fears and take the risk of discovering our core self. Barks’s fresh, original translations magnificently convey Rumi’s insights into the human heart and its longings with his signature passion and daring, focusing on the ecstatic experience of the inseparability of human and divine love.

Begun in 1262 AD, Masnavi-ye Ma ‘navi, or ‘spiritual couplets', is thought to be the longest single-authored ‘mystical’ poem ever written. As the spiritual masterpiece of the Persian Sufi tradition, it teaches how to progress to the ultimate goal of the Sufi path - union with God. Jalaloddin Rumi was a poet and a mystic, but he was first a teacher; in these verses he draws the reader into the complexities of human love and separation and explains the path to divine love through the elimination of self-regard and worldly desires. Drawing on diverse sources from bawdy tales and fables to stories of the prophet Mohammed, these verses are brief in expression yet copious in meaning.
