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

Additional quotes by Rumi

هناك شمعة في قلبك .. تنتظر أن تضاء
هناك فراغ في روحك .. ينتظر أن يملأ
إنك تشعر بهذا ، أليس كذلك ؟!

The universe swings again into orbit around us.
Am I looking for you or you for me?
The question is wrong.

As long as I keep using two pronouns,
I am this in-between, two-headed thing.

"My heart is so small
it's almost invisible.
How can You place
such big sorrows in it?
"Look," He answered,
"your eyes are even smaller,
yet they behold the world.” — Rumi
