“Hear this if you can:
If you want to reach him
You have to go beyond yourself
And when you finally arrive at the land of absence
Be silent
Don’t say a thing
Ecstasy, not words, is the language spoken there”
― Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi, The Rubais of Rumi: Insane with Love

“You are a volume in the divine book
A mirror to the power that created the universe
Whatever you want, ask it of yourself
Whatever you’re looking for can only be found
Inside of you”
― Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi, The Rubais of Rumi: Insane with Love

“لا حب أفضل من حب بدون حبيب،
ليس أصلح من عمل صالح دون غاية،
لو يمكنك أن تتخلى عن السوء والحذق فيه،
فتلك هي الخدعة الماكرة!”
― جلال الدين الرومي, رباعيات جلال الدين الرومي

“O my choice beauty
You've gone
But your love remains in my heart
Your image in my eye
O guide on my winding road
I keep turning round and round in the hopes of
Finding you”
― Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi, The Rubais of Rumi: Insane with Love
