That moon which the sky never saw
even in dreams
has risen again
bringing a fire
that no water can drown
See here where the body
has its house
and see here my soul
the cup of love has made the one
drunk
and the other a ruin
When the tavern keeper
became my heart's companion
love turned my blood
to wine
and my heart burned on a spit
When the eye is full of him
a voice resounds
Oh cup
be praised
oh wine be proud
Suddenly when my heart saw
the ocean of love
it leapt away from me calling
Look for me
The face of Shams-ud Din
the glory of Tabriz
is the sun that hearts follow
like clouds
Rumi
