This blog includes excerpts from my book entitled The Lover's Gaze: Rumi's Guide for Lovers and Spiritual Seekers. In it I try to provide balanced (not too literal, yet not diverging from the original Persian) translations and commentary on the poetry and practical philosophy of Rumi, the Persian Sufi Mystic and Poet.
The translations in this blog are copyrighted. If you wish to use them send me an email and I will need to verify usage then send you a formal email of permission of usage.

The Sun appears as testimony to the Light
Aftab amad dalil e aftab
chon dalil amad az vey rooy matab!
The Sun appeared -- to defend the existence of the sun!
Don't turn your face if proof stands before you!
Commentary: If someone doubts an obvious thing, and if there is clear proof, don't try to ignore it.
