- Prologue: Rumi’s Spiritual Command
| Element | Detail |
| Poet | Mowlana Jalal al-Din Muhammad Balkhi (Rumi), from the Divan-e Shams. |
| Couplet | Bāyad ke jomleh jān shavi, tā lāyeq-e jānān shavi. |
| Translation | “You must become entirely soul, to become worthy of the Beloved.” |
| Significance | This line serves as a direct spiritual directive. To attain union with the True Beloved (the Divine), one must undergo a complete internal transformation, shedding material attachments to become a being of pure, spiritual Soul (Jān). |
- Artistic Execution & Symbolism
The design integrates spiritual themes with classical Persian elements, elevating the text to a visual and transcendental experience.
Color & Vibe

Design & Motif
- Core Elements: The borders are intricately adorned with classic Iranian Eslimi (arabesque) and Khataei (floral) motifs.
- Symbolism: These detailed, interconnected patterns beautifully illustrate the concept of unity (Tawhid), the eternal flow of creation, and the divine harmony that binds all existence.
Calligraphy
- Style: Rendered in the elegant and flowing Nasta’liq or Shekasteh Nasta’liq scripts.
