"You are the bird of happiness

in the magic of existence

what a pity! why you let

yourself be chained and caged?"

~Rūmī ❤

[samiaelsaid]

Loneliness and solitude are two different things. When you are lonely, it is easy to delude yourself into believing that you are on the right path. Solitude is better for us, as it means being alone without feeling lonely. But eventually it is the best to find a person who will be your mirror. Remember only in another person’s heart can you truly see yourself and the presence of God within you.

#Rumi 💗 & #Shams ♥ ♥ ♥ 

I was dead I came alive I was tears I became laughter

All because of love when it arrived my temporal life from then on changed to eternal

Love said to me you are not crazy enough you don't fit this house

I went and became crazy crazy enough to be in chains

Love said you are not intoxicated enough you don't fit the group

I went and got drunk drunk enough to overflow with light-headedness

Love said you are still too clever filled with imagination and skepticism

I went and became gullible and in fright pulled away from it all

Love said you are a candle attracting everyone gathering every one around you

I am no more a candle spreading light I gather no more crowds and like smoke I am all scattered now

Love said you are a teacher you are a head and for everyone you are a leader

I am no more not a teacher not a leader just a servant to your wishes

Love said you already have your own wings I will not give you more feathers

And then my heart pulled itself apart and filled to the brim with a new light overflowed with fresh life

Now even the heavens are thankful that because of love I have become the giver of light.

Lovers alas, lovers alas Whoever sees that faceless face Confusion in him amass Desperation will embrace. For beloved cross every pass Worldly affairs slow their pace

A flowing brook amidst the grass Flowing tears his face shall trace His ego is shattered glass Self-estranged, himself deface Sense the Divine in spirit and mass If he is truly seeking grace

Love can withstand molten brass Gives his own soul in this chase Through this trap lovingly pass And find himself beside that face

With love himself will embarrass Lost in time and in space There’s no cure, potion, herb or grass For one who’s lost his earthly base And his prize, to reach that class

In this futile endless race Until death too will come to pass And move him to that place. The love that hurts will never pass It is a very special case

Transcendent love has its own class The aching heart is wrapped in lace Run out of sand many hourglass Many a dream lost in space If miracle shall come to pass

Every magic shall displace There is no king and no palace Facing that graceful faceless face Brave lions cry out alas Beside the dogs guarding that place.

Thou art my King, Thou art my King To my heart and soul faith Thou shalt bring With Thy loving breath infuse me with life Not just one single soul, my every soul Thou string.

Without Thee taking bread, is of poison being fed Thou art water and bread to which with life I cling. Poison if Thou willed, into elixir will turn

Thy abundant sweetness in my mouth sweetly sting. My grass and orchard, and my Paradise My herb and my tree, thy joy in me ring.

Thou art my monarch, Thou art my moon too; Thou art the jewel and the mine that gave it wing. Silence I choose, best Thou givest the news Thou art the reason for which I speak and sing.

O heart let go of your soul Until you see the soul maker Leave behind this deceptive faker So you reach your real goal. Unless you pass through here You will never reach the beyond

Free yourself from worldly bond Doubtless clear, to you appear. If it is a sign that you seek In this path, my dear friend Yourself you must transcend And signs to you will speak. Go past the four and five From six and seven look away

Rise above this earth and clay #Seven_skies become alive. When you’ve seen the #seventh_sky Go to the eighth sphere Step upon the things that appear

You’ll find the void nearby. Within the void you shall see The souls of dear friends Disembodied floating heads In the spaceless roaming free. Close the critical eye Appeal to the inner sight

From yourself briefly take flight The #beloved will appear nigh. You who have never taken a pace On the path of misfortune To soul’s treasure won’t attune

Unless this costly pain embrace. O hear ye, Shams-e Tabriz Silently speak the word With your soul be in accord Which you’ll see joyously frees.

O friend of mine, O friend of mine, O heedless lovely dread of mine Compassionate unwed of mine Thy grace, worrisome head of mine.

Most welcome is this soul of mine My cure, filling this hole of mine O faith and control of mine

Thou rich ocean bed of mine. Caring companion of mine Happy dominion of mine A thousand opinion of mine Union of this spread of mine. To night-travelers, the light And to the disturbed, delight

Where caravans stay the night Caravan guide and head of mine. Thou leader and opposition #Moon and #Jupiter’s position Thou reality and vision Thou precious bread of mine.

O thou soul spring of mine O king of mine, O king of mine O endless pearl string of mine Higher than lofty head of mine.

Thy ground is this sky of mine Thy poison, drug and high of mine This heartfelt sigh and cry of mine Joy of secrets, unread of mine.

I was asked to give account Of such worthless small amount Seek not deception, be blunt "My subject", this Thou said of mine.

Your head for treasures makes design For love put your life on the line Align yourself with the divine O brutal beastly friend of mine.

Tear of love Poem by #Shams-Tabrizi

The epic #Mathnawi "The Book of Husam"

were inspire by his platonic love for the 'Perfect Man' i.e a man in whom divine qualities are revealed, and whom the lover sees as his alter ego. Riumi's mystical relation to Chems-eddin of Tabriz is a fascinating love story. According to the legend, Rumi met a vagrant dervish or holy man who asked him a question that made him FAINT. He then answer the question, and took the man into his house. For two years they were insperable, steeped in mystical intercourse and forgetful of the rest of the world. Rumi's neglegted disciples jealous and chased Chems-eddin away to Damascuc. He come back, however, at Rumi's entreaties, but after a while mysterious dissapeared. He may have been murdered by jealous disciples, or he may have gone away for good. Rumi was overcame by passionate grief, and invented the "whirling dervish" dance as an expression of his powerful emotion.

#Rumi 💗 

[samiaelsaid]

With love you cannot bargain there, the choice is not yours. Love is a mirror, it reflects only your essence, if you have the courage to look in its face. To the parched lips of those who are willing to surrender Love will bring the wine that changes darkness into vision, cruelty into compassion and dust into precious incense. Love means to reach for the sky and with every breath to tear a hundred veils. Love means to step away from the ego, to open the eyes of inner vision and not to take this world so seriously.

~ Rumi

[samiaelsaid]

Everyone sees the unseen in proportion to the clarity of his heart, and that depends upon how much he has polished it. Whoever has polished it more sees more - more unseen forms become manifest to him.

~ Rumi

[samiaelsaid]

I swear, since seeing Your face, the whole world is fraud and fantasy The garden is bewildered as to what is leaf or blossom. The distracted birds can't distinguish the birdseed from the snare. A house of love with no limits, a presence more beautiful than Venus or the moon, a beauty whose image fills the mirror of the heart.

~ #Rumi (R.A.)
