Additional quotes by Rumi

عيوننا ما تراك ،
لكنّ عُذرًا لنا:فالعيونُ ترى مَظهرًا لا حقيقة

الموسيقى غذاء كل المحبين.

The heart is like a candle
longing to be lit.
Torn from the beloved
it yearns to be whole again,
but you have to bear the pain.
You cannot learn about love.
Love appears on the wings of grace.
