The Allegorical Tales in the Masnavi and the Ignorant Critics of the Masnavi

The divine music from the flute

"In 'Naynama' (Song of the Reed), the opening lines of the Masnavi, Rumi (R.A.) unveils the deep dimensions of separation and love between the individual soul and the Supreme Soul, using the reed flute as a symbol throughout all these verses."

Presented here are the four most sublime couplets, from 10 to 13, of 'Naynama' (The Song of the Reed), the opening verses of the Masnavi Sharif.

The spiritual lament of a soul, invisible to the world's clamor, yet burning within as the fire of divine love.
