For more than eight centuries, Jalaluddin Muhammad Balkhi Rumi - commonly referred to simply as Rumi - has enchanted and enthralled readers from every faith and background with his universal themes of love, friendship and spirituality, which he seamlessly wove into resplendent poetry. The verses herein perfectly express and are centred on the theme of love, along with the quest, desire and deeper meanings of love for, not only ourselves, but, also, of our fellow humankind.
