About Shams Tabrizi

Shams-e-Tabrīzī (or Shams al-Din Mohammad, literally: Sun of Islam; 1185–1248) was a Nizari Ismaili Iranian Sufi mystic, born in the city of Tabriz in Iranian Azerbaijan, who is credited as the spiritual instructor of Mewlānā Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Balkhi, also known as Rumi and is referenced with great reverence in Rumi's poetic collection, in particular Diwan-i Shams-i Tabrīzī (The Works of Shams of Tabriz). Tradition holds that Shams taught Rumi in seclusion in Konya for a period of forty days, before fleeing for Damascus. The tomb of Shams-i Tabrīzī was recently nominated to be a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

لست قادرا على أن أطلب منك السفر ,
لذلك سأتحمل هذا العبء من أجلك,
فالفراق ينضج الروح بعد الفراق ,
نقول: لماذا لم أتبع أوامره ونواهيه؟
مقارنة مع ألم الفراق، كان ذلك سهلا ,
استطيع أن أسافر خمسين مرة من أجلك ,
عندما أرحل فذلك من أجلك ,
وإلا ما الفرق عندي بين الأناضول أو الشام
مكة أو قسطنطينة
لا أبالي بذلك لكن، الفراق ينضج الروح ويكمله.

The whole universe is sum up in the Human Being. Devil is not a monster waiting to trap us, He is a voice inside. Look for Your Devil in Yourself, not in the Others.
Don’t forget that the one who knows his Devil, knows his God.
