[ Sung in Persian: ] Anlat bana, Ey Ilham, ouzaklara ve genis topraklara yolu dusenleri "Tell me, o Muse of those who traveled far and wide" ---------------------------------- Song inspired by a Sufi poem: O brother, Wisdom is pouring into you From the beloved saint of God. You've only borrowed it. Although the house of your heart Is lit from the inside. That light is lent by a luminous neighbor Give thanks; don't be arrogant or vain Pay attention to self-importance. It's sad that this borrowed state Has put religious communities Far from religious communion. -- by Rumi (Mathnawi I, 3255-3258) -- translated into English by Kabir and Camille Helminski |
