Rumi Quotes

Who could be so lucky? Who comes to a lake for water and sees the reflection of moon.

Oh soul,
you worry too much.
You have seen your own strength.
You have seen your own beauty.
You have seen your golden wings.
Of anything less,
why do you worry?
You are in truth
the soul, of the soul, of the soul.

You try to be faithful
And sometimes you're cruel.
You are mine. Then, you leave.
Without you, I can't cope.

And when you take the lead,
I become your footstep.
Your absence leaves a void.
Without you, I can't cope.

You have disturbed my sleep,
You have wrecked my image.
You have set me apart.
Without you, I can't cope.

If you desire healing,
let yourself fall ill
let yourself fall ill.

ليس أصلح من عمل صالح دون غاية.

Do you know what you are?
You are a manuscript oƒ a divine letter.
You are a mirror reflecting a noble face.
This universe is not outside of you.
Look inside yourself;
everything that you want,
you are already that.

You wander from room to room
Hunting for the diamond necklace
That is already around your neck!

أيها البشر الأتقياء التائهون في هذا العالم
لم هذا التيه من أجل معشوق واحد
ما تبحثون عنه في هذا العالم
ابحثوا في دخائلكم فما أنتم سوى ذلك المعشوق

I didn't come here of my own accord, and I can't leave that way.
Whoever brought me here will have to take me home.

You are the universe in ecstatic motion.

استمع إلى صوت الناي كيف يبث آلام الحنين يقول: مُذ قُطعت من الغاب وأنا أحنُ إلى أصلي

"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.

Run from what's comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I'll be mad.
