Rumi


I have lost my mind for love because there is no strength in my heart
that has lost its hand and feet to resist His love.
Day and night I keep on chewing on one end of the chain of love that ties me.
I am covered in blood all over my body.
I am afraid if the vision of the Beloved comes,
I might spill the blood of my heart over Him.
Ask the fairies of the night of this lover who burns
with the fire of love and cries and weeps.
When I come and go in the darkness, my feet touch fairies.
My heart, which is shattered in pieces,
is traveling all night by burning like a star.
By the spell of the unfair and cruel Beloved all my sleep has gone.
0 my Beloved, let me wear a dress of fire like the sun
and with that fire let me beautify and enlighten the world like the sun.
My love is a moment of Your love.
Even if I escape and rest, my spirit never relaxes and rests.
I attain peace and comfort that very moment when I do not separate from Your love,
I never rest but continuously burn and be burned.
Everybody went to sleep.
I, the lover who gave away his heart, did not sleep.
All night my eyes are counting stars in the sky
Your love drew sleep away from my eyes such that it never returns.
My sleep has drunk the poison of Your separation and died. "
