The beauty of the heart

image
 Out of your love the fire of youth will rise.

In the chest, visions of the soul will rise.

If you are going to kill me, kill me, it is alright...

 

 

 

 

Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi

 

 

 

 

 The beauty of the heart

is the lasting beauty:

its lips give to drink

of the water of life.

Truly it is the water,

that which pours,

and the one who drinks.

All three become one when 

your talisman is shattered.

That oneness you can't know

by reasoning. 

 

 

Out of Your Love

 

 

 Out of your love the fire of youth will rise.

In the chest, visions of the soul will rise.

If you are going to kill me, kill me, it is alright.

When the friend kills, a new life will rise. 

 

 

The springtime of Lovers has come

 

 

 The springtime of Lovers has come,

that this dust bowl may become a garden;

the proclamation of heaven has come,

that the bird of the soul may rise in flight.

The sea becomes full of pearls,

the salt marsh becomes sweet as kauthar,

the stone becomes a ruby from the mine,

the body becomes wholly soul.
