Rumi

[Bluelicious]

Someday our souls will be one
And our union will be forever.
I know that everything I give you
Comes back to me.
So I give you my life,
Hoping that You
Will come back to me.

That's so beautiful and humbling, thanks for sharing that Bluey.

[Bluelicious]

Thanks Narniah Rumi got some good poems. I don't know whether you know him.

[Narniah]

Blue I don't think I've told you, but when I went to Turkey I paid a lil visit to his grave in Konya (where he passed away). It's amazing how many people come there from all over the world just to see where he lived and died.

 

I stood by his grave, being a big fan It was a magical experience to be there. I will never forget it.=)

[Naxar Nugaaleed]

Rumi, Hafiz, Saadi, Omar Khayyam. Wonder what was in the water in ancient Persia.

 

Saadi poem is the motto at the interance of the United Nations and in Persian.

 

The sons of Adam are limbs of each other, Having been created of one essence.

When the calamity of time affects one limb The other limbs cannot remain at rest.

If thou hast no sympathy for the troubles of others

Thou art unworthy to be called by the name of a human.

[Naxar Nugaaleed]

My favorite of Rumi

Narniah what a awesome experience, i'm a big fan of Rumi too he's the best, greatest and inspirational poet in my opinion. His poems make so much sense and have islamic influences. When you read it you get the aha moment.

 

Naxar Nugaaleed it must have been in there blood and genes to be so talented and cheers for your poem.

Never thought there were this many Rumi poem lovers on here. Wonderful to share our favorite Rumi poems with each other. Omg it's Paragon the resident poet, welcome back! Good to see your still alive and kicking

 

I like the following:

 

Moving Water

 

When you do things from your soul, you feel a river

moving in you, a joy.

 

When actions come from another section, the feeling

disappears.

 

Don't let others lead you. They may be blind or, worse, vultures.

 

Reach for the rope of God. And what is that? Putting aside self-will.

 

Because of willfulness people sit in jail, the trapped bird's wings are tied,

fish sizzle in the skillet.

 

The anger of police is willfulness. You've seen a magistrate

inflict visible punishment.

 

Now see the invisible. If you could leave your selfishness, you

would see how you've been torturing your soul. We are born and live inside black water in a well.

 

How could we know what an open field of sunlight is?

 

Don't insist on going where you think you want to go. Ask the way to the spring. Your living pieces will form a harmony.

 

There is a moving palace that floats in the air with balconies and clear water flowing through, infinity everywhere, yet contained under a single tent.
