Learning Persian, or Farsi as the natives call it, is top on my to do list for this academic year and here's the man responsible for it!

Soorat per mat jaana! Lafzon per jaana!
Of these two thousand "I" and "We" people,
which am I?

Don't try to keep me from asking!
Listen, when I'm this out of control!
But don't put anything breakable in my way!

There is an original inside me.
What's here is a mirror for that, for you.

If you are joyful, I am.
If you grieve, or if you're bitter, or graceful,
I take on those qualities.

Like the shadow of a cypress tree in the medow,
like the shadow of a rose, I live
close to the rose.

If I separated myself from you,
I would turn entirely thorn.

Every second, I drink another cup of my own blood-wine.
Every instant, I break an empty cup against your door.

I reach out, wanting you to tear me open.

Saladin's generosity lights a candle in my chest.
Who am I then?

His empty begging bowl.


Rumi looks to be a very popular poet.
The above lines must have been translated.

Assign DMers to the T-shirts!

Icethinker - this is why he keeps on debating despite knowing he lost the "debate" even before he opened that thread.

This one is begging to be assigned to mindgoogling😆 Unfortunately, when he googles himself, he still does not get any better results.
Krystal.
Qwerty.
Sarina - when DM goes out of control with too many bush fires needing her attention!!!
Ajnu. She can tell them the way she sees it😆
Karan - Kanta sey poppy ban gaya. Aagey aagey dekho hota hai kya😆

Yeh DM per tashreef laatey hain aisa kyoon lag raha hai mujhey😆
Jokes apart - liked the poetry. I know translation kills some of the beauty. I can only imagine how wonderful it would be in Persian/farsi.

I am so glad they were translated! I accidentally stumbled upon them in an anthology of Sufi poets and fell in love with them. 😛
