” I am enslaved to fate, of all else say no more
With a sweet tongue speak, else I plea say no more
Speak not of troubles, of treasures, tell me more
And if of this you know not, be not troubled, say no more
I have gone insane, Love found me, then whispered in my ear
‘I am here, cry not aloud, curse yourself not, say no more’
I said ‘ O Love it is other than Thee that I fear’
Said ‘ it may thus appear, yet it is not so, say no more
I speak in you ear, to you bring secrets near
Speak with your head, confirm a nod, say no more’
I asked, ‘ What do I see? Is it an angel or a man? ‘
Said ‘ no more an angel than a man, is another, say no more’
‘Tell me what it is, why withhold, why the flames of my torment fan’
Said ‘ just be tormented, confused, say no more
For leaving this colorful and false abode, you have made no plan
Rise up and just depart, leave this home, say no more’
Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi
