Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī - the treasures hidden within

 

Pilgrims on the way!

Where are you?


Here is the beloved, here!


Your beloved lives next door

wall to wall


why do you wander

round and round the desert?


If you look into the face of Love

and not just at its superficial form


You yourselves become the house of God

and are its lords


Ten times

you trod the trek unto that house


For once

come into this house

climb onto this roof


That sweet house of sanctity –


you have described its features in detail

but now give me some indication

of the features of its Lord


If you have seen that garden,

where is your bouquet of souvenirs?


If you are from God’s sea,

where is your mother pearl of soul?


And yet, may all your troubles

bring you treasure!


Too bad that you yourselves are veiling

the treasures hid within
