O friend, if you do good to others,
you better yourself a hundred times over.
Even if you turn your face this way,
maybe you will get to know Us. Continue reading “Maybe You Will Get to Know Us (9/22/2024)”

Amazing! (9/15/2024)
Night has come.
But, what is this amazing burning in my heart?
I think it must be the dawn of a new day
which the eyes of the lover cannot see.
The eyes of Love do not differentiate between day and night.
The eyes of Love blind the eyes of lovers. Amazing!

How Long? (9/8/2024)
For some time, I have been left on this journey
with the sound of, “start the journey,” to keep me going.
For some time, I have lived with the word, “go,”
but I have lost the location of my tent. Continue reading “How Long? (9/8/2024)”
Don’t Ask for Reason (9/1/2024)
At night, I turn around the city like wind.
running like water.
How can sleep overcome the one
who walks around the city in darkness?
The mind is the one who wants to have everything in order.
Don’t ask for reason or manners from the drunk.

Inside (8/25/2024)
There is a Soul inside of your soul.
Search for it.
There is a jewel in the mountain of your flesh.
Look for the mine, the source of that jewel.
O one who walks on the path to God,
if that is what you are searching for,
you will find it only inside of yourself.

Confide in Me (8/18/2024)
Look at my business, my occupation;
I have none.
I never reach out to others;
You are the only One. Continue reading “Confide in Me (8/18/2024)”
Because of You (8/11/2024)
You would never consider praising or loving Yourself.
But, You are so beautiful.
If You were to show Yourself,
both worlds would start fighting each other. Continue reading “Because of You (8/11/2024)”
Is It Proper? (8/4/2024)
O Beloved, I am so close to You in Love,
so close that wherever You step, I become the ground there.
Is it proper on the path of Love
for me to see the universe through You, but never see You?
The Rubaiyat of Rumi, The Ergin Translations, Volume 3, rubai 1164, page 128.
Good News (7/28/2024)
O lovers, good news for you!
Your separation has ended.
The time for Union has come.
Now there is only God and His Divinity. Continue reading “Good News (7/28/2024)”
One Moment for Me (7/21/2024)
When my Essence turns into a sea of infinity,
the faces of my particles shine.
I burn like a candle on the way of Love
so that all moments can become one moment for me.
