Rumi describes the ability of love to influence the growth in fact, to enhance the power of supernatural celestial beings.
ای طایران قدس را عشقت فزوده بالها
Only through Your love
Can celestial birds grow
more expansive wings
در حلقه سودای تو روحانیان را حالها
Only through dealing
with your love
Can holy men
Create a circle of
Enchanted divine trance!
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.
