Poetry has been an integral part of many cultures throughout the centuries. Poetry is a prized art that is celebrated by many societies and cultures.

Some of these poets have become so significant that they are now celebrated around the world. Rumi Day is one of these. It celebrates the life of Jalal ad -Din Muhammad Rumi or Rumi, as he is commonly known.

Rumi was born 1207, although the exact place is not known. While some scholars believe he was born at Balkh (modern-day Afghanistan), others disagree and claim he was actually born in Wakhsh (modern-day Tajikistan). Rumi began his life as an Islamic Jurist, before he switched to poetry at 37.

He was able to write at a much later stage of his life than many poets. His works, which were majority in Persian, were easily translated across borders and appreciated by many nationalities and ethnicities. For example, he managed to establish a large audience in Iran, Persia and Turkey.

Rumi’s legacy is still impressive, even though he died in 1273. Rumi’s poems were translated into many languages and he has a strong English-language following. It might surprise you to find out that he is still the most-sold poet in America, even in modern times.
