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.

You are my celebration
اندر دل من مها دلافروز توئی
shining like the moon
You reside in my heart
And light it from within
یاران هستند لیک دلسوز توئ.
Friends are all around us, yes
But only You truly care
شادند جهانیان به نوروز و بعید
People are happy for the New Year
And celebrate the holidays
عید من و نوروز من امروز توئی
But today it is You
who
Are truly my New Year
My celebration .
