مثنوی معنوی/مثل ۴

The sixth book of the Masnavi is a long narrative poem by Rumi, forming part of his larger masterwork in Persian classical literature. It continues the work's characteristic method of interweaving stories, parables, and spiritual reflections to explore themes of the soul's journey, divine love, and mystical insight. Written in the masnavi verse form, it presents moral and philosophical teachings through a succession of tales and allegorical episodes. The Masnavi as a whole is considered one of the greatest works of Persian Sufi poetry and has held enduring influence across centuries of literary and spiritual tradition.
