Additional quotes by Rumi

ﺍﻟﻌﻤﺮ ﺍﻟﺬﻯ ﻣﺮ ﺑﻠﺎ ﻋﺸﻖ ﻛﺄﻧﻪ ﻟﻢ يكن،
ﻓﺎﻟﻌﺸﻖ ﻣﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﺤﻴﺎة، ﺗﻘﺒﻠﻪ ﺑﻘﻠﺒﻚ ﻭﺭﻭﺣﻚ .
وﻛﻞ ﻣﻦ ﻟﺎ يعشقون ﺍﻋﺘﺒﺮﻫﻢ أﺳﻤﺎﻛًﺎ ﺧﺮﺟﺖ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻤﺎﺀ.
ﺍﻋﺘﺒﺮﻫﻢ ﻣﻮﺗﻰ ﺫﺍﺑﻠﻴﻦ، ﺣﺘﻰ ﻭإﻥ ﻛﺎﻧﻮﺍ ملوكًا

I made an oath to myself:
as long as I live
as long as my soul remains in this body
I won't deviate from the right way
but later I looked to my left and then to my right
and I saw our beloved everywhere
how could I make a wrong turn?

Whenever we can manage to love without
expectations,
calculations,
negotiations,
we are indeed in heaven.
