[ 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)
