[a-path-by-the-moon]

[mohsint110]

My heart, sit only with those

who know and understand you.

Sit only under a tree

that is full of blossoms.

In the bazaar of herbs and potions,

don’t wander aimlessly —

find the shop with a potion that is sweet.

If you don’t have a measure

people will rob you in no time.

You will take counterfeit coins

thinking they are real.

Don’t fill your bowl with food

from every boiling pot you see.

Not every joke is humorous, so don’t search

for meaning where there is none.

Not every eye can see,

not every sea is full of pearls.

My heart, sing the song of longing

like nightingale.

The sound of your voice casts a spell

on every stone, on every thorn.

First, lay down your head

then one by one

let go of all distractions.

Embrace the light and let it guide you

beyond the winds of desire.

There you will find a spring

and nourished by its sea waters

like a tree you will bear fruit forever.

اندر دل من مها دل افروز توئي ياران هستند ليك دلسوز توئي شادند جهانيان به نوروز و به عيد عيد من و نوروز من امروز توئي

Look at love,  how it tangles with the one fallen in love. Look at spirit, how it fuses with earth giving it new life. Why are you so busy with this or that, or good or bad, pay attention to how things blend. Why talk about all the known and the unknown, see how the unknown merges into the known. Why think separately of this life and the next when one is born from the last. Look at your heart and tongue, one feels but deaf and dumb, the other speaks in words and signs. Look at water and fire, earth and wind, enemies and friends all at once, the wolf and the lamb, the lion and the deer, far away yet together. Look at the unity of this. Spring and winter manifested in the equinox. You too must mingle my friends, since the earth and the sky are mingled just for you and me. Be like sugar cane, sweet yet silent. Don’t get mixed up with bitter words. My beloved grows right out of my own heart, How much more union can there be?

"Look at Love" from Rumi: Fountain of Fire, Translated by Nader Khalili
