Disengage yourself!
by Rumi
If you can disentangle yourself from your selfish self all heavenly spirits will stand ready to serve you if you can finally hunt down your own beastly self you have the right to claim Solomon's kingdom you are that blessed soul who belongs to the garden of paradise is it fair to let yourself fall apart in a shattered house you are the bird of happiness in the magic of existence what a pity when you let yourself be chained and caged but if you can break free from this dark prison named body soon you will see you are the sage and the fountain of life Ghazal (Ode) 3291 Translation by Nader Khalili "Rumi, Fountain of Fire" Burning Gate Press, Los Angeles, 1994. |
