• Jalal al-Din RUMI
  
  
  Light up a fire of love within your soul
  Burn up these thoughts and words form head to toe !
  
  (M2:17630)
  
  
  
  
  A man in love , no matter what he says
  the smell of love wafts love-ward from his mouth
  He speaks of jurisprudence , what emerges?
  from mystic poverty , a sweet effulgence.
  He blasphems , the scent of faith arises.
  He offers doubts , no doubt we grow more sure
  
  (M1:2880-830)
  
  
  
  
  Free will endows our worship with its savor
  for otherwise , the heavens turn, compelled
  revolving rewardless and unpunished.
  On Judgement Day free will's the skill that's judged!
  
  (M3:3287-8)

• 
  A damsel said to her lover , "O fond youth,
  
  You have visited many cities in your travels;
  
  Which of those cities seem most delightful to you ? "
  
  He made answer , " The city wherein my love dwells.
  
  In whatever nook my queen alights,
  
  Though it be as the eye of a needle , 'tis a wide plain ;
  
  Wherever her Yusuf - like face shine as a moon,
  
  Though it be the bottom of a well, 'tis Paradise.
  
  With thee , my love , hell itself where heaven,
  
  With thee a prison would be a rose-garden.
  
  With thee hell would be a mansion of delight,
  
  Without thee lilies and roses would be as flames of fire ! " .

• Open the veil and close our door --
  You are an I , and empty the house.
  
  Without your speech the soul has no ear ,
  Without your ear the soul has no tongue.

  With God is the best bargain ; he buys from you
  
  your dirty fortune and gives in exchange light
  
  of the soul.
  
  He buys the ice of the perishable body and gives a
  
  kingdom beyond imagination.

- Rumi -

• “ These spiritual window-shoppers,
  Who idly ask, 'How much is that?'; 'Oh, I'm just looking.'
  They handle a hundred items and put them down,
  Shadows with no capital.
  
  What is spent is love and two eyes wet with weeping.
  But these walk into a shop,
  And their whole lives pass suddenly in that moment,
  In that shop.
  
  Where did you go? 'Nowhere.'
  What did you have to eat? 'Nothing much.'
  
  Even if you don't know what you want,
  Buy something to be part of the exchanging flow.
  
  Start a huge, foolish project,
  Like Noah.
  
  It makes absolutely no difference
  What people think of you.”

Mathanawi VI, 831-845

• 
  "Look not at Time's events, which come from the spheres and make life so disagreeable.
  Look not at this lack of daily bread and the means of livelihood.
  Look not at this famine and fear and trembling and war and destruction."
  
  ...
  
  "Look at this: In spite of all the world's bitterness, you are passionately and shamelessly attached to it.
  Know that bitter tribulation is a Mercy!
  Know that possessing the empire of Marv and Balkh is a Vengeance.
  The cruelty of time and of every suffering that exists is easier than distance from God and forgetfulness.
  For that cruelty will pass, but distance from Him will not pass.
  No one possesses good fortune but he who takes to Him an aware spirit."

  “ Lord, show me things as they are.
  You show a thing as fair, and in reality it is ugly.
  You show a thing as ugly, and in truth it is beautiful.
  Show us everything just as it is,
  So that we will not fall into the snare.”

- Përkthyer nga : Prof.Dr.Annemarie Schimmel

• Ghazal 1919
  
  Look! This is love -- to fly toward the heavens,
  To tear a hundred veils in every wink,
  To tear a hundred veils at the beginning,
  To travel in the end without a foot,
  And to regard this world as something hidden
  And not to see with one's own seeing eye!
  I said: "O heart, may it for you be blessed
  To enter in the circle of the lovers,
  To look from far beyond the range of eyesight,
  To wander in the corners of the bosom!
  O soul, from where has come to you this new breath?
  O heart, from where has come this heavy throbbing?
  O bird, speak now the language of the birds
  
  Because I know to understand your secret!"
  The soul replied: "Know, I was in God's workshop
  While He still baked the house of clay and water.
  I fled from yonder workshop at a moment
  Before the workshop was made and created.
  I could resist no more. They dragged me hither
  And they began to shape me like a ball!

• “ Keep Searching ”
  
  Even though you're not equipped,
  keep searching:
  equipment isn't necessary on the way to the Lord.
  Whoever you see engaged in search,
  become her friend and cast your head in front of her,
  for choosing to be a neighbor of seekers,
  you become one yourself;
  protected by conquerors,
  you will yourself learn to conquer.
  If an ant seeks the rank of Solomon,
  don't smile contemptuously upon its quest.
  Everything you possess of skill, and wealth and handicraft,
  wasn't it first merely a thought and a quest?

Ghazal 1515

• “ How very close ”
  
  how very close
  is your soul with mine
  i know for sure
  everything you think
  goes through my mind
  
  
  i am with you
  now and doomsday
  not like a host
  caring for you
  at a feast alone
  
  
  with you i am happy
  all the times
  the time i offer my life
  or the time
  you gift me your love
  
  
  offering my life
  is a profitable venture
  each life i give
  you pay in turn
  a hundred lives again
  
  
  in this house
  there are a thousand
  dead and still souls
  making you stay
  as this will be yours
  
  
  a handful of earth
  cries aloud
  i used to be hair or
  i used to be bones
  
  
  
  and just the moment
  
  when you are all confused
  
  leaps forth a voice
  
  hold me close
  
  i'm love and
  
  i'm always yours

Ghazal 911

• “ When i die ”
  
  when i die
  when my coffin
  is being taken out
  you must never think
  i am missing this world
  
  don't shed any tears
  don't lament or
  feel sorry
  i'm not falling
  into a monster's abyss
  
  when you see
  my corpse is being carried
  don't cry for my leaving
  i'm not leaving
  i'm arriving at eternal love
  
  when you leave me
  in the grave
  don't say goodbye
  remember a grave is
  only a curtain
  for the paradise behind
  
  you'll only see me
  descending into a grave
  now watch me rise
  how can there be an end
  when the sun sets or
  the moon goes down
  
  it looks like the end
  it seems like a sunset
  but in reality it is a dawn
  when the grave locks you up
  that is when your soul is freed
  
  have you ever seen
  a seed fallen to earth
  not rise with a new life
  why should you doubt the rise
  of a seed named human
  
  have you ever seen
  a bucket lowered into a well
  coming back empty
  why lament for a soul
  when it can come back
  like Joseph from the well
  
  when for the last time
  you close your mouth
  your words and soul
  will belong to the world of
  no place no time

You seek Him high in His heaven –
                 He shines like the moon in a lake,
But if you enter the water,
                  up to the sky He will flee…
                                            ( D no. 900 )

  Whatever makes you
  tremble - know that
  you are worth just that !
  
  That is why the heart
  of God's lover is
  greater than His Throne.

Rumi

Listen to the song of the reed and listen to its story.
           weeping from the pain of seperation.
           It cries : " Since I was severed from my native land ,
men and women have longed to hear my songs
and the agony of seperation has broken my heart "

• 
  If death's a man , let him come close to me
  that I can take him tightly to my breast.
  I'll take from him a soul , pure , colourless:
  He'll take from me a coloured frock , that's all.
