Some of Rumi's Love poem

1." Why should I seek? I am the same as he.
His essence speaks through me.
I have been searching for myself!"


2. "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."


3. "I am amazed by meeting you
I am an idea, like many that you have
My image and my ideas are by your existence
It seems, that I am your words and the meanings (as well)…
A pleasant moment makes me like a flower garden,
A moment makes me like withered winter,
By one breath he makes me scholar and instructor
In another, he makes me a school child”


4. "With the Beloved's water of life, no illness remains

In the Beloved's rose garden of union, no thorn remains.

They say there is a window from one heart to another

How can there be a window where no wall remains?"
