The minute I heard my first love story,
I started looking for you, not knowing
how blind that was.
Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere.
They’re in each other all along
Rumi

Absolutely! He is a 13th century Persian poet. Almost all of his poetry has been translated to different languages. And the emotions are never lost in translation.
He is a widely known for his immense knowledge of love, and the divine. It’s amazing how learned he was, and how even one verse a day can make us better people, with profound knowledge of the universe and how things work.
This Wikipedia page outlines everything that is known about him:
