Rumi Poetry In Arabic by Rami Elias Kremesti

The First Online Arabic Rumi Poetry Page
In 2005, on February 14, Valentine's Day, I was translating Rumi poems from English into Arabic at the Jafet Library in the American University of Beirut when around 11 am the whole library shook from the sound of an explosion... It was from the 1 ton suicide bomb truck that killed Prime Minister Rafic Hariri and 22 others 2 miles away near Hotel St. George... The assassination was planned and executed by Hezbollah according to a local investigation committee - the head of which was later assassinated himself - and the UN Special Tribunal for Lebanon (UN STL). PM Hariri's charity the Hariri Foundation had sponsored my education at the prestigious American University of Beirut between 1992-1995 even though I am an Orthodox Christian and he was a Sunni muslim. He was a generous man, a stately man, a great business leader, a man you could reason with... they killed him mindlessly because he wanted Syria's troops and oppressive security apparatus out of Lebanon... I had recently come back to the Middle East from the USA trying to start a new life after being laid off from the IT sector in the USA... what a beginning huh? I had discovered Rumi in Los Angeles where I also developed my passion for photography. To make a long story short, I bring you these beautiful Rumi poems that i have translated into Arabic that have touched me deeply and I hope they will affect you positively too... A work of Love to defy the evil in this world and especially in the Middle East... This is part of the Mission of AMALID to bring to the Middle East and the World an interpretation of Islam that is modern, mystic, inclusivist and non-violent. New!
