In this lesson, we go over one of Rumi's most famous poems,
beshnō een nay, which means ‘listen to the reed flute,' with our
friend Muhammad Ali of Persian Poetics. We go over the essence
and meaning behind the poem, and analyze it line by line using
Muhammad Ali's English translation. Beshnō een nay is the first
poem in Rumi's Masnavi, and is a common poem for Iranians to have
memorized. The major theme of the poem is that of separation,
either from a specific place or from the divine, and the return
to the ‘self,' whatever that may be.
