Sajnar Ensemble / Bigah (Too Late)

“Bigah” is a trilogy of ghazals in the Divan-e Shams; a selection of these poems is gathered in this work.

All three ghazals begin with the line: “It has grown late, it has grown late – the sun has fallen into the well.”

Some commentators believe that the “sun” in this trilogy is Shams of Tabriz, who was killed by people close to Rumi (a group led by Rumi's younger son) and whose body was thrown into a well.
