2K Followers 2 Following A @persianpoetics project. instagram: https://t.co/t0gZlrWpFd patreon: https://t.co/hGat4R3gDqIt continues to blow my mind how this is not more widely understood. If you have even a passing interest in the works of Rumi, this video is essential viewing.
This “Persian Poetry” is doing an amazing job.
@PersianPoetics The Sanskrit cognate would be bhagdatta
@Shukhchari @PersianPoetics This bagh (بغ) means god but this bāgh (باغ) means garden
@PersianPoetics I use (& explain) this phrase all the time, it’s so expressive. There’s something powerful about seeing an empty seat, to remind us of who is missing.
Thanks to @revmamd for pointing me to this #thread
Thread: The Orientalizing of Moulana Rumi Many of you may be familiar with the 'Rumi quotes' that circulate the internet. What if I told you the vast majority of them are fake and they are part of a project to secularize Rumi? This isn't a whatsapp conspiracy.
This is an informative thread--I've used that Rumi quote in sermons and will do so no longer--but I also really admire the shade involved in putting Barks's translation in Comic Sans. 10/10 no notes
Compare my mostly literal translation with Coleman's 'translation.' My heart aches for those who only know Moulana Rumi via this orientalist garbage masquerading as a translation.
@PersianPoetics شاہ است حسین بادشاہ است حسین دیں است حسین دیں پناہ است حسین سرداد نہ داد دست دردست یزید حقہ کہ بنائے لا الٰہه است حسین
@sharghzadeh @PersianPoetics At the same time, I'm sending money to Afghanistan & Pakistan with zero problems, transfered within minutes. This kind of US animosity is just plain stupid.
Please make sure to support @PersianPoetics run by my brother @sharghzadeh He is doing a marvelous job, showing to the world the exceptional beauty of our language and heritage. Make sure to follow both accounts BTW. He shares unique stuff.

The words of Persian poet Saadi adorn the walls of the United Nations, the Persian poetry of Rumi has been translated into over 20 languages & is one of the best selling poets in the US. And yet this country vilifies the very language he wrote in & the descendants of its culture.

Just got off a live poetry discussion and reading of Saadi's "Banī Ādam" with like a hundred people on the call from all over! A truly special event and a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. ❤️ Thank you @justleyla and @PersianPoetics for putting it together!
Was listening to Coldplay this morning, when suddenly banī ādam (a poem by Saadi) came up in this song! They read the whole poem in Farsi and an English interpretation of it. I just memorized the former last week! (I bet @justleyla and @PersianPoetics would appreciate this.)
I’m currently assembling the sofreh for our house and it’s proving a much welcome break from doom scrolling
🧵 Tomorrow night is ‘Shab-e Yaldā,’ the longest and darkest night of the year! Iranic peoples spend the night in celebration - but why is the winter solstice important to them? (1/8)
Hey y'all, don't forget our shabé yaldā poetry reading is tomorrow at 3 pm CST! It's not too late to learn the poem and join @PersianPoetics and I in a fun discussion! event.webinarjam.com/register/1/r29…
I wish all cities can balance out the nauseating advertisements with more posters of poetry, prose, aphorisms etc
