How Are You? 5/29/16 How are you?  How do you do? “How” and “what” won’t help anyone understand you. Except for the Sultan who is beyond “how” and “what,” Nobody will understand you.   O my beauty, the universe is illuminated by you, filled with light. But, the sky and More...

How Can You Find Fault? (5/15/16) The lover breaks his chains when he goes to the side of lovers. The one who is insane keeps turning And tears apart all his measures.       How can you find fault in the lover’s quick, careless walking? The fire from His More...

Do You Know What Love Is? (4/3/16) O sword of time, pull out from the sheath of space. Dive into the sea like a fish. Swim this endless sea of meanings.       Don’t wish to unite: Union is an attribute of the body. I see such closeness that it More...

Love Murmurs (3/27/16) There is nothing remaining in my ears but Love’s murmur. There is nothing remaining in my soul  – no reason, no thought – only the sweetness of Eternity. The colorless brush of Love has mixed all colors; Now, it can’t even remember its past. Rubailer, Rubai #2, Page More...
