Ibn al‑Farid and John of the Cross stress the negative way toward union, as the lover must eradicate his selfish ways in total obedience to the beloved's will, and both poets map the via negativa to be followed by lovers aspiring to union and illumination.
This calls attention to the important fact that the mystical ideas of Ibn al‑Farid and John of the Cross are intimately connected to love and its poetic expression, to the extent that they should not be, indeed, cannot be separated.

During the first half of twentieth century the six volumes of Rumi's Masnavi and a selection of his lyrics were translated into English by British scholars Reynold Nicholson and Arthur John Arberry but these works were mostly known to academia.

Then, by using an unpublished John Moyne's translation on one hand, and with the blessing of a Sri Lankan sufi saint living in the US, Bowa Muhaiyaddeen on the other hand, Barks publishes a new English version of rumi in free verse.
