therubaiyat of rumi, the ergin translations, volume 1

Mevlânâ Celâleddîn Rumi is considered the foremost mystical Persian poet of Love and is the best-selling poet in the United States. Our four volumes share the 1,867 quatrains from Rumi’s Divan-i Kebir, translated by Nevit O. Ergin, the first person ever to translate into English the over 44,000 verses in Rumi’s Divan-i Kebir.

Although selections of Ergin’s translations of Rumi’s quatrains have been published before, this is the first time his translations of all 1,867 rubaiyat will have been published - in English only -in their entirety.

To quote Ergin, ＂Rumi is like an infinitely large umbrella covering all we have and beyond.＂
