كان لديه الإناء ولم يحصل على الماء، ولما حصل على الماء انكسر الإناء. - Rumi

This is how I would die
into the love I have for you:
As pieces of cloud
dissolve in sunlight.

The Oldest Thirst There Is

Give us gladness that connects
with the Friend, a taste of the quick,
you that makes a cypress strong
and jasmine jasmine.

Give us the inner listening
that is a way in itself
and the oldest thirst there is.

Don't measure it out with a cup.
I am a fish. You are the moon.
You cannot touch me, but your light
can fill the ocean where I live.

You are my wine, my joy,
My garden, my springtime,
My slumber, my repose,
Without you, I can't cope.
