in full Jall al-Dn al-Rm byname Mawln (Arabic: "Our Master") born Sept. 30, 1207, Balkh, Ghrid empire died Dec. 17, 1273, Konya, Anatolia The greatest Sufi mystic and among the most renowned Persian poets. He was a teacher at a madrasah in Anatolia when he met Shams al-Dn ("Sun of Religion"), a wandering dervish who revealed to him the inner mysteries of divine majesty; their intimate relationship scandalized Rm's followers, who likely had Shams al-Dn murdered. The disappearance of his companion turned Rm to poetry, and his Dvn-e Shams ("Collected Poetry of the Sun") contains verses on his love and longing for Shams al-Dn. His main work, the didactic epic Masnav-ye Manav ("Spiritual Couplets"), widely influenced Muslim mystical thought and literature. He is believed to have composed poetry while in a state of ecstasy and often accompanied his verses by a whirling dance. After his death, his disciples were organized as the Mawlawiyyah (Mevlev), a Sufi order called in the West the "whirling dervishes," and his influence on Turkish culture is inestimable. His poems, originally in Persian, have been translated into a number of languages, including English, and have enjoyed a worldwide following into the modern period
