“I once had a thousand desires. But in my one desire to know you all else melted away.”
Rumi

“You dance inside my chest,
where no one sees you,

but sometimes I do, and that
sight becomes this art.”
Rumi

“Where the lips are silent the heart has a thousand tongues.”
Rumi, The Book of Love: Poems of Ecstasy and Longing

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“I choose to love you in silence…
For in silence I find no rejection,

I choose to love you in loneliness…
For in loneliness no one owns you but me,

I choose to adore you from a distance…
For distance will shield me from pain,

I choose to kiss you in the wind…
For the wind is gentler than my lips,

I choose to hold you in my dreams…
For in my dreams, you have no end.”
Rumi

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“A lover asked his beloved,
Do you love yourself more than you love me?
Beloved replied, I have died to myself and I live for you.
I've disappeared from myself and my attributes,
I am present only for you.
I've forgotten all my learnings,
but from knowing you I've become a scholar.
I've lost all my strength, but from your power I am able.
I love myself...I love you.
I love you...I love myself.”
Jelaluddin Rumi
