Rumi

Jalāl al-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmī (1207–1273) was a Persian Sufi mystic, poet, scholar, and founder of the Mevlevi Order, known for his profound spiritual poetry that explores divine love and union with God. Born in Balkh (modern-day Afghanistan), his family fled Mongol invasions and settled in Konya, Turkey, where a transformative meeting with the dervish Shams-e Tabrizi in 1244 inspired his major works, including the Masnavi.[1][2][3]
