Sadness to me is the happiest time,
When a shining city rises from the ruins of my drunken mind.
Those times when I'm silent and still as the earth,
The thunder of my roar is heard across the universe.

Additional quotes by Rumi

My heart rushes into the garden,
joyfully tasting all the delights.
But reason frowns, disapproving
of the heart's bad manners.

...ای قوم به حج رفته کجایید کجایید
...معشوق همین جاست بیایید بیایید
...معشوق تو همسایه و دیوار به دیوار
...در بادیه سرگشته شما در چه هوایید
