The love poems of Rumi the Sufi mystic

Recommended Posts

Positive   

Rumi speaks from the heart and speaks to the heart. May be that is why he even today attracts many people with different faiths in all the corners of the world .

 

I present in here one of his timeless peoms about LOVE. Love for the Word and the Creator of All.

 

The Alchemy of Love

 

You come to us

from another world

 

From beyond the stars

and void of space.

Transcendent, Pure,

Of unimaginable beauty,

Bringing with you

the essence of love.

 

You transform all

who are touched by you.

Mundane concerns,

troubles, and sorrows

dissolve in your presence,

Bringing joy

to ruler and ruled

To peasant and King.

 

You bewilder us

with your grace.

All evils

transform into

goodness.

 

You are the master alchemist.

 

You light the fire of love

in earth and sky

in heart and soul

of every being.

 

Through your loving

existence and nonexistence erge.

All opposites unite.

All that is profane

becomes sacred again.

 

End

Why do the traditonal ulima have difficult to make head way to impress the western mind while the Sufis do.

 

Any thoughts?

I am not sure whether that is the case, Muslims, whether they are Sufi or not impressed many people around the world, including those in the West. They have impressed them with their Art, Science, Philosophy, among many other things.
