Poetry | Rumi's rooz o shab Intro

In this lesson, we learn Rumi's poem Rooz ō shab. In this poem,
the words rooz, day and shab, night, are repeated like a mantra.
Even though Rumi was a 13th century Persian poet, his poems
remain extremely relevant and relatable today. So, don't be
intimidated by the unfamiliar sounding language. Over the next
few weeks, we will dissect the words and phrases used in this
poem until it sounds like ordinary language to you. This poem is
so beautiful, it might make you fall out of your
chair.Unfortunately, there's not an easy version of Lotfi's
interpretation of this poem to link to- however, if you check out
this video at minute 19:00, you can hear it in all its glory. He
starts by singing the poem, and eventually gets lost in the zekr,
rooz ō shab, rooz ō shab, rooz ō shab.
