The English Rumi translations never convey the emotion and beauty as the originals in Farsi :(

I suck at reading Farsi, so I read the translations, the fact it’s still so transcendent and beautiful translated, shows how impactful his words are.

Exactly. It’s all about the depth of the meaning. Have you read the 40 rules of love?

Agreed. My great uncle (may God bless his soul) used to write lovely Urdu poetry and I still have a few collections of it that I read from time to time. It loses its beauty when translated.

Urdu is the most polite language I have ever heard in my entire life, urdu with kashmiri accent💜🤌

Oh for sure, it’s impossible for me to be rude in Urdu. That’s what English is for.

Urdu's poetic beauty precludes rudeness; it is pure pleasure. 💜🤌
