Jalaluddin Muhammad Rumi was a 13th-century Persian poet, scholar of Islam, and Sufi mystic. 

Born in 1207 in what is now Afghanistan, he eventually settled in Turkey, where he created some of the most beautiful spiritual poetry ever composed. 

Read here one of his poems titled, “A moment of happiness” - 

A moment of happiness,
you and I sitting on the verandah,
apparently two, but one in soul, you and I.

We feel the flowing water of life here,
you and I, with the garden's beauty
and the birds singing.

The stars will be watching us,
and we will show them
what it is to be a thin crescent moon.

You and I unselfed, will be together,
indifferent to idle speculation, you and I.

The parrots of heaven will be cracking sugar
as we laugh together, you and I.

In one form upon this earth,
and in another form in a timeless sweet land.
