    Mawlana Abdur Rahman Jami was Herat’s greatest poet and one of the greatest Sufi poets who wrote in Persian.

    He was a regular at the court of Sultan Baiqara, where he composed many treatises on the soul’s meditation of the divine.

    He died in 1492 and is still revered by modern Heratis, who can often quote from his greatest work, HaftAwrang (Seven Thrones), and regularly visit his grave (Sarakh-e Tanki Mawlawi; donation welcome, sunrise-sunset).

    The tomb is a quiet and contemplative place, inside a modest enclosure under a pistachio tree, with a finely carved headstone.

    “I shall roll up the carpet of life when I see,
    Thy dear face again and shall cease to be
    For self will be lost in that rapture, and all
    The threads of my thought from my hand will fall;
    Not me wilt thou find, for this self will have fled:
    Thou wilt be my soul in mine own soul’s stead.
    All thought of self will be swept from my mind,
    And thee only thee, in my place shall I find;
    More precious than heaven, than earth more dear,
    Myself were forgotten if thou wert near.”

    The price of a man consists not in silver and gold;
    The value of a man is his power and virtue.
    Many a slave has by acquiring virtue
    Attained much greater power than a gentleman
    And many a gentleman has for want of virtue,
    Become inferior to his own slave.
    Jami
