Mevlana Rumi

They are the privileged lovers
who create a new world
with their eyes of fiery passion.

Remember God so much that you are forgotten.
Let the caller and the called disappear;
be lost in the Call.

My longing for you
keeps me
in this moment
My passion
gives me courage

The wine of this fleeting world
caused your head to ache.

This phantom world gave you false signs
But you turned from the illusion
and journeyed to the land of truth.

You have been a prisoner
of a little pond
I am the ocean
and its turbulent flood
Come merge with me
leave this world of ignorance

They are the chosen ones
who have surrendered.

Because of your love
I have broken with my past

I used to read the myths of love
Now I have become
the mythical lover

They are the privileged lovers
who create a new world
with their eyes of fiery passion.
