13th Century

Mevlana Jelaluddin Rumi

 

Ah, what was there in that light-giving candle that it set fire to the heart,

and snatched the heart away?

 

-oOo-

 

 

Ah, what was there in that light-giving candle that it set fire to the heart,

and snatched the heart away?

 

You who have set fire to my heart, I am consumed, O friend; come quickly,

quickly!

 

The form of the heart is not a created form, for the beauty of God manifested

itself from the cheek of the heart.

 

I have no succour save in his sugar, I have no profit save in his lip.

 

Remember him who one dawn released this heart of mine from the chain of your

tress.

 

My soul, the first time I saw you my soul heard something from your soul.

 

When my heart drank water from your fountain it drowned in you, and the torrent

snatched me away.

 

 

-- from Mystical Poems of Rumi: Volume 1, Translated by A. J. Arberry
