Hekayat 97 from Chapter 8 of Golestan of Saadi
Gold is extracted from the mine with effort, but from the hand of the miser, with one's life. The mean-spirited do not eat and keep it, They say hope is better than consuming. One day you will see to the enemy's delight, The gold remains and the miser is dead.

God, the Most High, sees and conceals, while the neighbor does not see and yet shouts. God forbid, if people were aware of the unseen, No one would be at peace from another.

The Final Day - RUMI poetry (Sufi Mysticism) Spiritual Poem
Description: Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi, better known simply as Rumi, was perhaps the greatest Sufi mystic and the finest Persian poet of all time. He had a great influence on Muslim writing and culture.
It is believed that Rumi would turn round and round while reciting his poetry, and it is this dance which formed the basis for the Whirling Dervishes, after his death. Dervish means doorway, and the dance is believed to be a mystical portal between the earthly and cosmic worlds.
Poem: The Final Day
On that final day
When my casket moves along
Do not think my soul
will stay in this world.
Do not weep for me, crying, Tragedy, tragedy.
You will only fall into the snares of delusion—
Now that’s a tragedy!
When you see my lifeless body go by
Do not cry out, Gone, gone.
It is my moment of union.
It is when I come upon
the eternal embrace of my Beloved.
As I am lowered into the ground
Do not say, Farewell, farewell.
For the grave is but a veil
covering the splendor of Paradise.
Having seen the fall
Consider the rise.
What harm ever came to the setting Sun or Moon?
What appears to you as a setting
is for me a rising.
What appears to you as a prison
is for my soul an endless garden.
Every seed that enters the earth will grow.
Should it be any different with a human seed?
Every bucket that is lowered into a well comes up full.
Should I complain when instead of water
I pull up Joseph himself?
Do not look for your words here,
look for them over there.
Sing to me in the silence of your heart
and I will rise up
to hear your triumphant song.

Poem: Don't go without me
Dancing in ecstasy you go,
my soul of souls.
Don’t go without me.
Laughing with your friends,
you enter the garden.
Don’t go without me.
Don’t let the sky turn without me.
Don’t let the Moon shine without me.
Don’t let the Earth spin without me.
Don’t let the days pass without me.
The two worlds are joyous because of you.
Don’t stay in this world without me.
Don’t go to the next world without me.
Don’t let your eyes look without me.
Don’t let your tongue speak without me.
Don’t let your hands hold without me.
Don’t let your soul stir without me.
Moonlight reveals the sky’s bright face.
I am the light, you are the Moon.
Don’t rise without me.
The thorn is protected by the rose!
You are the rose, I am the thorn.
Don’t show your beauty without me.
I am the curve of your mallet,
the bits of stone beneath your chisel.
Don’t strike the stone without me,
Don’t move the chisel without me.
O joyous companion of the King,
Don’t drink without me.
O watchman on the rooftop,
Don’t stay up without me.
Woe to those who travel alone...
You know every sign,
You’ve walked upon every path.
Don’t go without me.
Some call you love,
I call you the King of Love.
You are beyond all imaginings,
taking me places I can’t even dream of.
O Ruler of my Heart,
wherever you go…
Don’t go without me.

Quatrain 155 from Rubaiyat of Rumi
Description: English Translation of the Quatrain
Since from seeing strangers we receive assistance,
Then we are not alone, and our work is within a number (or calculation).
We are aware of good and evil, and this is good and evil.
Every heart that is not selfless (or beside itself) is underfoot.
Analysis of the Quatrain
Seeing Strangers/Others (اغیار): This doesn't necessarily mean literal strangers. In a mystical context, it can refer to anything that distracts from the divine or the true self, such as worldly attachments or ego. The line suggests that even these distractions can paradoxically be a source of help or guidance.
Not Alone/Within a Number (فرد نهایم و کار ما در عدد است): This implies a sense of belonging to something larger than oneself, a collective or a divine plan. "In a number" can also mean "within a calculation" or "part of a divine order."

Description: English Translation of the Quatrain
In friendship with my beloved, I can't contain myself in my skin,
I can't contain myself in my skin, for my lover is very unkind.
The beloved never comes to the lover's desire,
The beloved always increases the lover's longing.
Analysis of the Quatrains
Ecstatic Love: The first two lines express the overwhelming nature of the lover's passion, causing them to feel restless and out of place.
Unrequited Love: The third and fourth lines highlight the theme of unrequited love, suggesting that the beloved often seems indifferent or even cruel to the lover.
Paradox of Love: There's a paradoxical element to the quatrain. The lover's pain is intensified by the very object of their desire, suggesting a masochistic aspect to love.

The earring in my ear knows more of my heart
Than my heart knows of all other rings.

Every atom, like the sun, is above and below.
Analysis of the Quatrains
The Knowing Earring: This is a striking metaphor. The earring, a seemingly inanimate object, is imbued with a sense of awareness and understanding.
Universal Sorrow: The quatrain suggests that the beloved's sorrow is so pervasive that it permeates the entire cosmos.
Paradox of the Sun: The image of the sun being both above and below is a paradox that hints at the limitless and all-encompassing nature of the beloved's presence.

From all forms of greed, severing myself is easy,
Except from the one who is the life of our life.
Whoever takes from anyone, has taken for you,
Who has the power to take even a breath from you?
Analysis of the Quatrain
Severing from Greed: The first line expresses a willingness to detach from worldly desires.
The Exception: The second line introduces an exception to this detachment: the beloved, who is described as "the life of our life," meaning the most essential and precious part of existence.
Taking for You: The third line presents an interesting idea: any loss experienced by others is ultimately a loss for the beloved. This suggests a deep interconnectedness.
Impossibility of Taking from You: The final line poses a rhetorical question, implying that no one can truly take anything from the beloved, suggesting their divine protection or invulnerability.

Description: English Translation of the Quatrain
There is no help more delicate than helplessness,
And no work more refined than doing nothing.
Whoever has abandoned cunning and deceit,
By God, there is no one as clever and cunning as he.
Analysis of the Quatrains
Paradox of Helplessness: The first couplet presents a paradox. It suggests that true help comes from a state of helplessness, and the most refined work is inaction.
Abandoning Cunning: The second couplet seems contradictory at first. It claims that the person who has left behind cunning is actually the most cunning.
Spiritual Meaning: These apparent contradictions often point to deeper spiritual meanings in Rumi's poetry.

Whoever lacks a beloved has no soul, Ghazal 118 by Saadi
Description: This ghazal by Saadi celebrates love as the essence of life and the soul’s true fulfillment. It contrasts the emptiness of a life without love with the richness of one blessed by a beloved. Saadi emphasizes the transformative power of love, showing that those who embrace it gain a divine sense of purpose and meaning, even if they lack material wealth. The poem reflects on the limitations of reason in the face of love's overwhelming power and praises the pain of love as more desirable than an ordinary, uneventful life. In Saadi's view, the true wealth of the heart is found in connection and beauty, not in solitude or worldly possessions.
