Dear soul, Love alone cuts arguments short,

for it alone comes to the rescue when you cry for help against

disputes.

Eloquence is dumbfounded by Love: it dares not wrangle;

for the lover fears that, if he answers back,

the pearl of inner experience might fall out of his mouth.

 

 

-- Mathnawi V: 3240-3241

Version by Camille and Kabir Helminski

"Rumi: Jewels of Remembrance"

Threshold Books, 1996

(Persian transliteration courtesy of Yahyá Monastra)
