Jalaludin RUMI

[Enemy_Of_Mad_Mullah]

HE SAID

"What can I do, Submitters to God? I do not know myself.

I am neither Christian nor Jew, neither Zoroastrian nor Muslim ,

I am not from east or west, not from land or sea,

not from the shafts of nature nor from the spheres of the firmament,

not of the earth, not of water, not of air, not of fire.

I am not from the highest heaven, not from this world,

not from existence, not from being.

I am not from India, not from China, not from Bulgar, not from Saqsin,

not from the realm of the two Iraqs, not from the land of Khurasan

I am not from the world , not from beyond,

not from heaven and not from hell.

I am not from Adam, not from Eve, not from paradise and not from Ridwan .

My place is placeless, my trace is traceless,

no body, no soul, I am from the soul of souls.

I have chased out duality, lived the two worlds as one.

One I seek, one I know, one I see, one I call.

He is the first, he is the last, he is the outer, he is the inner.

Beyond "He" and "He is" I know no other.

I am drunk from the cup of love, the two worlds have escaped me.

I have no concern but carouse and rapture.

If one day in my life I spend a moment without you

from that hour and that time I would repent my life.

If one day I am given a moment in solitude with you

I will trample the two worlds underfoot and dance forever.

O Sun of Tabriz (Shams Tabrizi), I am so tipsy here in this world ,
I have no tale to tell but tipsiness and rapture

No wonder some twisted people like this feller.

Kan waxaad mooda in meesha jidgoyn la yidha , lagu soo korshay .

Xabad ciidagale o dhakada ku socota weeye !

I believe I have studied Al-Rumi when I was at high school. I think his poems were in the "nusuus" academic books. But, I never thought he was Iranian; I thought he was from Shaam or Egypt.

What is nusuus?

No wonder some twisted people like this feller.

Most poets, musicians and entertainers are usually marqaan.
Rumi is no exception.

What is nusuus?

It's the plural of nass, and means text. Nusuus is a textbook taught at Egyptian high schools, was used to be taught at Jamal AbdiNasir high school and Safaara Misriyah school in Xamar, and possibly at schools in other countries. It's the equivalent of "Composition" textbooks taught at US schools and colleges. It teaches language, grammar, history, etc. Its chapters include poems, short stories, naxwa, balaaghah, etc.
