Rumi's "The Song of the Reed" was much loved by the mystics and Saints, Lord Krishna devotees of East Bengal, says professor Annamarie Schimmel in her book "The Triumphal Sun". Mevlevi Sufis use the allegory of the ney/flute, in the same way the Krishna mystics did.

The allegory of good and evil
Reality is beyond the mask

The spinners and the expert mind-benders
Cannot change the course of nature
Nor can they make destiny turn around
