Text
Divan 943, by Jalluddin Rumi
Translation by Raficq Abdulla

Time passes, time passes, wearing out all clocks
Traveling into the eye of night, the dance
Of senses is stilled in night prayer
The path to the Unseen unveils itself.
Sleeps angel sheperds its flock of spirits toward
spectral cities and rose-proofed gardens
Beyond the deadly confinement of place and time.
Now the spirit freed from the cell of the sleeping
Body...feels with the hearts revealing eye
A thousand forms and shapes, origins of origins,
of one eternity and unblemished moment.
You could justly say, the spirit has come home...
