ما ضرك لو اطفأ هذا العالم أضواءه كلها في وجهك .. مادام النور في قلبك متوهجا .. - Rumi

These Exhaling Sounds

Is the sweetness of the cane sweeter
than the one who made the canefield?

Behind the beauty of the moon is the moonmaker.
There is intelligence inside the ocean's
intelligence
feeding our love like an invisible waterwheel.

There is a skill to making cooking oil from animal fat.
Consider now the knack that makes eyesight
from the shining jelly of your eyes.

Dawn comes up like a beautiful meal being served.
We are hungry and distracted, so in love with the cook.

Don't just be proud of your mustache
as you drive three donkeys down the road.

Instead of gemstones, love the jeweler.
Enough of these exhaling sounds.

Let the darling finish this
who turns listening into seeing.

أظهر الحقُّ هذا العالم الحاضر لعلك تستيقن الطبقاتِ الأخرى التي تأتي بعدُ..
لم يُظهره من أجل أن تُنكرَ وتقول: هذا كلّ ما هو موجود

Why struggle to open a door between us when the whole wall is an illusion?
