Additional quotes by Rumi
انظر إلى وجه كلّ إنسان، وكن منتبهاً، فلعلّك تغدو من التأمل عارفاً بالوجوه.
ولما كان كثير من الأبالسة يظهرون في صورة الإنسان، فليس يليق بالمرء أن يمدّ يده لكلّ يد.
ذلك لأن الصياد يصطنع الصفير، لكي يوقع الطائر في حبائله.
فيسمع الطائر صوت أبناء جنسه. فيجيء من الهواء فيجد الشبكة والسكين.
إن الرجل اللئيم يسرق لغة الدراويش ليتلو على البسطاء أسطورة منها يخدعهم بها ~
When I am with you, we stay up all night.
When you're not here, I can't go to sleep.
Praise God for these two insomnias!
And the difference between them.
The minute I heard my first love story
I started looking for you, not knowing
how blind that was.
Lovers don't finally meet somewhere.
They're in each other all along.
We are the mirror as well as the face in it.
We are tasting the taste this minute of eternity. We are pain
and what cures pain, both. We are
the sweet cold water and the jar that pours.
I want to hold you close like a lute,
so we can cry out with loving.
You would rather throw stones at a mirror?
I am your mirror, and here are the stones.
