He manages to give the Masnavi meaning AND put it into superb English couplets... something In never thought I'd live to see... and love all the more for having no Farsi... so the authenticity of a translation direct from the Farsi, and a 20th century one, without Victorian fussiness (Nicholson) is truly remarkable. This reading also is so sweet, clear, and passionate.

Amirable endeavor! ... and a great gift to the lovers of Rumi in his 800th birth anniversary, indeed. Much power and blessing to your heart and erudite penmanship dear Mr. Mojaddedi!! Just a humble suggestion, though: I thought it might be more interesting and beneficial to the Persian learning Rumi students to hear the Persian and English recited in parallel lines. Haqq! Hu!
