' If something else can capture your attention Then it' s not love, but just a trivial passion -Love is that flame which, once it blazes up, Burns everything but the Beloved up. ' This is the first ever translation of the entirety of Book Five of Rumi' s magnum opus, The Masnavi, into English. Prior to this verse translation in heroic couplets, translations were either of selectedpassages or in lineated prose with passages deemed too salacious rendered into Latin, as was the convention in Britain of the early twentieth century. This fifth book of Rumi' s The Masnavi is well-known to contain muchsexually explicit content within teaching stories about the path of annihilation of the self in a total and uncompromising way.
Jawid Mojaddedi is Professor of Religion at Rutgers University. Born in Afghanistan, he was a 2014-15 National Endowment for the Arts Literature Translation Fellow and a 2020-21 National Endowment for the Humanities Fellow. Dr Mojaddedi' s translation of The Masnavi: Book One (OUP, 2004) was awarded the Lois Roth Prize by the American Institute of Iranian Studies. His previous books include Beyond Dogma: Rumi' s Teachings on Friendship with God and EarlySufi Theories (OUP, 2012) and The Biographical Tradition in Sufism (2001).
