Description: English Translation of the Quatrain

Those eyes, filled with blood, have sorrow as their companion,
Don't expect sleep from them, for when have they ever slept?

O unaware one of love, who has said this?

Quatrain 122 from Rubaiyat of Rumi

Description: English Translation of the Quatrain

That soul, from whom our beloved is joyful,
Their head is always green and their lips are always smiling.

Such grace and beauty are not the measure of a soul.
Let us whisper, perhaps it is the Beloved.

Analysis of the Quatrains

The Joyful Soul: The poet is describing a soul that brings great joy to their beloved. This soul is characterized by eternal youth (green head) and happiness (smiling lips).
The Nature of the Soul: The poet questions whether the beauty and grace of this soul can be fully comprehended or measured.

Quatrain 121 from Rubaiyat of Rumi

Description: English Translation of the Quatrain

Where you are, there is nothing but sorrow, strife, and injustice,
Yet, when you became our drowning, you were all kindness and loyalty.

If you are right, whatever we are is right for you,
And if you are not right, I will take your wrong as right.

Analysis of the Quatrains

Paradox of Suffering: The first two lines present a paradox: the beloved is associated with both suffering and kindness. This could suggest that the suffering experienced is somehow necessary for spiritual growth or a deeper connection with the beloved.
Unconditional Acceptance: The final two lines express a deep devotion and acceptance of the beloved, regardless of their actions or the circumstances.

Love and Soul - Rumi | Full Poem

Description: A beautiful Poem written by Jalaluddin Rumi

Poem: " Love and Soul "
Apart from Love,
everything passes away.
The way to heaven is in your heart.
Open and lift the wings of Love!
When Love’s wings are strong,
you need no ladder.
Though the world is thorns,
a lover’s heart is a bower of roses.
Though heaven’s wheel be mired down,
lovers’ lives go forward.
Invite love into each dark corner.
The lover is bright as a hundred thousand candles!
Even if a lover seems to be alone,
the secret Beloved is nearby.
The time-span of union is eternity.
The life is a jar, and in it,
union is the pure wine.
If we aren’t together, of what use is the jar?
The moment I heard my first love story
I began seeking you,
not realizing the search was useless.
Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere;
they are in one another’s souls all along.

The Alchemy of Love
You come to us
from another world.

From beyond the stars
and void of space.
Transcendent, pure,
of unimaginable beauty,
bringing with you
the essence of love.

You transform all
who are touched by you.
Mundane concerns,
troubles and sorrows
dissolve in your presence,
bringing joy
to ruler and ruled,
to peasant and king.

You bewilder us
with your grace.
All evils
transform into
goodness.

You are the master alchemist.

You light the fire of love
in earth and sky,
in heart and soul
of every being.

Through your love
existence and nonexistence merge.
All opposites unite.
All that is profane
becomes sacred again.

Jalaluddin Muhammad Balkhi Rumi r.a
