Rumi

Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder. Help someone's soul heal. Walk out of your house like a shepherd.

Nothing can help me but that beauty.
There was a dawn I remember
when my soul heard something from your soul.

I drank water from your spring
and felt the current take me.

استمع إلى صوت الناي كيف يبث آلام الحنين يقول: مُذ قُطعت من الغاب وأنا أحنُ إلى أصلي

Bring the pure wine of
love and freedom.
But sir, a tornado is coming.
More wine, we'll teach this storm
A thing or two about whirling.

Oh sky, without me, do not change,
Oh moon, without me, do not shine;
Oh earth, without me, do not grow,
Oh time, without me, do not go.

Others give you the name of Love,
And me the sultan of that love.
Higher than such illusions,
Oh, you cannot go, without me.

When soul rises
Into lips
You feel the kiss
You have wanted

If it is bread that you seek, you will have bread.
If it is the soul you seek, you will find the soul.
If you understand this secret, you know you are that which you seek.

My soul is from elsewhere, I’m sure of that,
and I intend to end up there.
This drunkenness began in some other tavern.
When I get back around to that place,
I’ll be completely sober.

You hurt and have sharp desire,
yet your presence is a healing calm.

ما ز بالائیم و بالا می رویم
ما زدریائیم و دریا میرویم
ما از آنجا و از اینجا نیستیم
ما ز بی جائیم و بی جا می رویم
كشتی نوحیم در طوفان روح
لاجرم بی دست و بی پا می رویم
همچو موج از خودبرآوردیم سر
باز هم در خود تماشا می زدیم
اختر ما نیست در دورقمر
لاجرم فوق ثریا می رویم

ما ز بالائیم و بالا می رویم

مَنْ لا يركض
إلى فتنة العشق
يمشي طريقا
لا شيء فيه حي.

Christian, Jew, Muslim, shaman, Zoroastrian, stone, ground, mountain, river, each has a secret way of being with the mystery, unique and not to be judged

I am your moon and your moonlight too
I am your flower garden and your water too
I have come all this way, eager for you
Without shoes or shawl
I want you to laugh
To kill all your worries
To love you
To nourish you.

I am yours.
Don't give myself back to me.

To live without you
is to be robbed of love
and what is life without it?
To live without you
is death to me, my love
but some call it life.
