The Richard Stevens Masnavi Group 12/07/22

“Where is the Musician in my soul? That its singing May echo in a thousand heads the enchantments of love. I said I will not speak, but I will; Fulfilling promises is not a notable virtue of mine”
(Divan 223, v 1-2, translated by Dr Fatemeh Keshavarz)

We meet every Tuesday evening on Zoom from 6 to 8 pm to read Mawlana Jalaluddin Rumi’s Masnavi in Nicholson’s magisterial translation. We intersperse our readings with readings from the Divan e Shams e Tabriz in various translations.

Please contact the group facilitator Yaver Abidi at yaverabidi@hotmail.com if you have questions about the group or the material.
