To Manzar, Molky Jahân, Hussein, Tubâ,
Hamid, Masoud, and Bauback,
With my love
You’re the profundity of your own being,
The vast sea of your own life;
For if there’s any depth in this sea,
It’s in you.
………………………………………
The entire world is within you.
He who knows himself can comprehend the whole.
…………………………………………..
The purpose of this world’s existence was,
The meeting of two friends,
To sit across each other,
But in the direction of God,
Apart from their own needs and desires!
……………………………………….
I was seeking for someone weaved from the same fabric,
To make him my altar, to face him, for I was weary of myself!
What would you understand from these words when I say: “I was weary of myself?!”
Now, since I made him (Rumi) my altar,
Whatever I utter, he comprehends, and absorbs.
Shams-e Tabrizi
