Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi - I Have a Fire for You in my MouthMewlana Jalaluddin Rumi - I Have a Fire for You in my Mouth
Work rating: Medium


218 I have a fire for you in my mouth, but I have a hundred seals on my tongue. The flames which I have in my heart would make one mouth- ful of both worlds. Though the entire world should pass away, without the world I possess the kingdom of a hundred worlds. Caravans which are loaded with sugar I have in motion for the Egypt of nonexistence. The drunkenness of love makes me unaware whether I have profit of loss therefrom. The body’s eye was scattering pearls because of love, till now I have a pearl-scattering soul. I am not housebound, for like Jesus I have a home in the fourth Heaven. Thanks be to Him who gives soul to the body; if the soul should depart, yet I have the soul of the soul. Seek from me that which Shams-e Tabrizi has bestowed, for I have the same.
