Rumi Quotes

ما ز بالائیم و بالا می رویم
ما زدریائیم و دریا میرویم
ما از آنجا و از اینجا نیستیم
ما ز بی جائیم و بی جا می رویم
كشتی نوحیم در طوفان روح
لاجرم بی دست و بی پا می رویم
همچو موج از خودبرآوردیم سر
باز هم در خود تماشا می زدیم
اختر ما نیست در دورقمر
لاجرم فوق ثریا می رویم

ما ز بالائیم و بالا می رویم

Hari ini aku menjadi bijak
Aku ingin merubah diriku sendiri

I'm constantly looking for,
so I try to keep clear and still
as water does with the moon.

The gates made of light
swing open. You see in.

You attain to knowledge by argument;
You attain a craft or skill by practice;

not by way of talk or reams of notes.
Its signs are writ upon the seeker's heart,
yet still the seeker cannot ken those signs
until his heart becomes exposed to light
Then God reveals His: Did We not expose? [Qur'an 94:1]
for We've exposed the chambers of your breast
and placed the exposition in your heart

Love is the astrolabe of God’s mysteries.
A lover may be drawn to this love or that love,
but finally he is drawn to the Sovereign of Love.
However much we describe and explain love,
when we fall in love we are ashamed of our words.
Explanation by the tongue makes most things clear,
but love unexplained is clearer.
When the pen came to the subject of love, it broke.
When the discourse reached the topic of love,
the pen split and the paper tore.
If intellect tries to explain it,
it falls helpless as a donkey on a muddy trail;
only Love itself can explain love and lovers!
The proof of the sun is the sun itself.
If you wish to see it, don’t turn away from it.

zoroaster. bukan pula islam. karena aku tahu, begitu suatu nama
kusebut, kau akan memberikan arti yang lain daripada makna yang hidup
di hatiku.

Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames.

When our guides and those who are cherished by us leave and disappear, they are not annihilated, they are like stars that vanish into the light of the sun of reality.

Friend, our closeness is this : Anywhere
you put your foot, feel me in the firmness
under you.

How is it with this love,
I see your world, but not you?

الأمر بالنسبة لروحى أنا سهل، لكنها روح روحى، فأنا مريض مهدم وهى دوائى.

Don’t hand me another glass of wine. Pour it in my mouth. I’ve lost the way to my mouth.
