This Is Love Poem by Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi

This Is Love

Rating: 2.5


This is love: to fly toward a secret sky,
to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment.
First, to let go of live.
In the end, to take a step without feet;
to regard this world as invisible,
and to disregard what appears to be the self.

Heart, I said, what a gift it has been
to enter this circle of lovers,
to see beyond seeing itself,
to reach and feel within the breast.

Should “First, to let go of live.“ not read “First, to let go of life.”?
