Ep.1. Rumi’s Diwan, Line by Line – Ghazal 1

🎙Rasoul RAHBARI GHAZANI

In this first episode of Rumi’s Diwan, Line by Line, we explore Ghazal 1 from Divan-i Shams Tabrizi, decoding its profound layers of meaning. This poem, opening with the powerful invocation "O sudden resurrection, O boundless mercy", sets the tone for Rumi’s ecstatic vision of divine love, spiritual awakening, and the transcendence of the material world. Join me as we break down this ghazal verse by verse, uncovering its mystical symbolism, linguistic beauty, and philosophical depth through top commentaries. I will examine the imagery of fire, light, divine grace, and human longing, revealing how Rumi’s words serve as a gateway to self-discovery and spiritual transformation. What you’ll learn in this episode: 

✅ The hidden meanings behind Rumi’s choice of words

✅ Sufi interpretations of key phrases and metaphors

✅ How this poem reflects Rumi’s vision of love, intellect, and surrender

✅ Insights from historical and contemporary scholars on Rumi’s philosophy

🔻My questions for you:

1️⃣ This poem suggests that true freedom comes from something beyond material concerns. In your own life, what are the “prisons” that keep you from experiencing deeper peace or fulfillment?

2️⃣ The poem emphasizes surrendering control and trusting a higher wisdom. What implications might this perspective have in your life?

3️⃣ At the end of the poem, Rumi abandons writing and analysis, as if words are no longer enough. Are there moments in your life when words fail, and only direct experience or deep feeling can capture the truth?
