You come to us from another world
From beyond the stars and void of space.
Transcendent. Pure. Of unimaginable beauty.
Bringing with you the essence of Love.

You transform all who are touched by you.
Mundane concerns, troubles and sorrows
Dissolve in your presence.
Bringing joy to ruler and ruled. To peasant and king.

You bewilder us with your grace.
All evils transform into goodness.
You are the master alchemist.

You light the fire of Love in earth and sky
in heart and soul of every being.

Through your loving existence and non-existence merge.
All opposites unite.
All that is profane becomes sacred again.

Rumi – (aka Mawlana or Jal?l ad-D?n Muammad Balkhi)
