I asked the Day to rise
To come to me when
they dance, the particles.
The One who inspires
The whirling dome
And wind to dance
Brings to beings the joy
that makes them dance
gives no chance to worry
On that day will appear
And whisper in your ear
Lean in, let me tell you
where the particles dance .
Rumi , quatrain 556
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.
