Rumi ...

From the beginning of my life

I have been looking for your face ...

But today I have seen it ...

Today I have seen

The charm ... 

The beauty ...

The unfathomable grace of the face

That I was looking for ...

Today I have found you ...

And those who laughed

And scorned me yesterday

Are sorry that they were not looking

As I did ...

I am bewildered by the magnificence

Of your beauty and wish to see you

With a hundred eyes ...

My heart has burned with passion

And has searched forever

For this wondrous beauty

That I now behold ...

I am ashamed

To call this love human

And afraid of God

To call it divine ...

Your fragrant breath

Like the morning breeze

Has come to the stillness of the garden ...

You have breathed new life into me

I have become your sunshine

And also your shadow ...

My soul is screaming in ecstacy

Every fiber of my being

Is in love with you ...

Your efflugence

Has lit a fire in my heart ...

For me

The Earth and Sky

My arrow of love

Has arrived at the target ...

I am in the house of mercy ...

And my heart

Is a place of prayer ...
