Allah'u'Abha!
I'm wondering if someone has the Persian text of Baha'u'llah's "Mathnavi", preferrably in a non-caligriphied format... but of course, begger's can't be choosers.
If you have it, can you please e-mail me at misaghziaei at hotmail dot com?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
What do you mean by "Mathnavi"...like that of Maulana Jalal-ud-Din Roomi? If yes did really Bahaullah write the "Mathnavi"? or this term is something different from the one I understand from this post?

Ahsan

Re: Requesting Baha'u'llah's Mathvani
Doing a search of the site, I see some mention of it, for example:
http://bahai-library.com/bsr/bsr09/9B4_ ... thnavi.htm
http://bahai-library.com/resources/1863-68.html
So this was not a claim to Baha'u'llah having written the Mathnavi.
best wishes,
Brett

Re: Requesting Baha'u'llah's Mathvani
info given on one link you provided is
Not to be confused with the abbreviated title "Mathnavi" both used in non-Baha'i books and often quoted by the Central Figures, which usually refers to Rumi's Mathnavi
check the screenshot

Hi Ahsan,
You asked originally
I understood that you were asking whether Baha'is believed that Baha'u'llah had written Rumi's Mathnavi (as perhaps by inspiration, etc), and I was saying no to that. But He did write His own "Mathnavi". The info from the screenshot is correct: the Baha'i Writings quote sometimes from Rumi's Mathnavi (as in Baha'u'llah's Tablet to a mystic), but there is an actual work of Baha'u'llah which is also called "Mathnavi".
best wishes,
Brett

Yeah my main question was that did Bahaullah also write a book on poetry and named it Mathnavi...I was confused on the term "Mathnavi"...you made that clear. Thanks.

Yes, Baha'u'llah did write a (slim) book called the Mathnavi. You can get it in a Word format from
http://reference.bahai.org/fa/t/b/
Go to item 16, Atha-e Qalam-`ala volume 3, download the word file and search on mathnavi
