Nice piece of work with the muse of love. Thanks for sharing this peom with us.
Googling again. This time for Eid. Eid usually refers to: Eid al-Fitr marks the end of the month of Ramadan; Putting this together with Nowruz, Rumi may be alluding that his love is as sacred and beautiful as his sacred beliefs
