Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi Ode Poems

I was dead, then alive.
Weeping, then laughing.
...

Those who don't feel this Love
pulling them like a river,
those who don't drink dawn
like a cup of spring water
...

An intellectual is all the time showing off.

Lovers dissolve and become bewildered.
...

On the day I die, when I'm being
carried toward the grave, don't weep.
...

I don't get tired of you. Don't grow weary
of being compassionate toward me!
...

"Granite and Wineglass"
You are granite.
...

We've come again to that knee of seacoast
no ocean can reach.
...

Go to your pillow and sleep, my son.
Leave me alone in the passion
...

There is a passion in me
that doesn't long for anything
...
