Study me as much as you like, you will not know me, for I differ in a hundred ways from what you see me to be. Put yourself behind my eyes and see me as I see myself, for I have chosen to dwell in a place you cannot see.

Additional quotes by Rumi

The way you make love is the way God will be with you.

كيف يمكن أن يغادر هذا العالمَ جزءٌ من هذا العالم؟
كيف يمكن أن يترك البللُ المياه؟
ما يجرحك، يباركك…
الظلام شمعتك.
حدودك مسعاك.
يمكنني شرح ذلك، لكنْ قد ينكسرُ
الزجاجُ الذي يغطِّي قلبك
ولا شئء يُصلح ذلك.
هل تكفي هذه الكلمات
أو عليَّ أن أعصرَ منها أكثر؟
