Poetry by RUMI -- Who Says Words with My Mouth
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 авг 2024
- Rūmī was a thirteenth century poet, theologian and mystic. By his mid 20’s he had become an accomplished and highly influential figure in the community. However, a chance meeting with an eccentric dervish by the name of Shams Tabrīz, who was in search of a master student, would cause him to walk away from his life of privilege forever. And the world would never be the same.
POEM
All day I think about it,
then at night I say it.
Where did I come from,
and what am I supposed to be doing?
I have no idea.
My soul is from elsewhere, I'm sure of that,
and I intend to end up there.
This drunkenness began in some other tavern.
When I get back around to that place,
I'll be completely sober.
Meanwhile,
I'm like a bird from another continent,
sitting in this aviary.
The day is coming when I fly off,
but who is it now in my ear who hears my voice?
Who says words with my mouth?
Who looks out with my eyes?
What is the soul?
I cannot stop asking.
If I could taste one sip of an answer,
I could break out of this prison for drunks.
I didn't come here of my own accord,
and I can't leave that way.
Whoever brought me here will have to take me home.
This poetry, I never know what I'm going to say.
I don't plan it.
When I'm outside the saying of it,
I get very quiet and rarely speak at all.
Shams Trabrizi,
If I could see your face again
I could flee the imposition
of this life

I must have listened to this 100 times... the best poem ever about our essential nature, and lifelong quest for the truth... the hidden. Coleman Barks does a wonderful job.... perfection. What a gift is Rumi.
He is a true gift!
Coleman Barks you have done this world a great service. ❤
my dad made this in the early 2000s this always made me tear up in. nostalgia
You're saying your dad made this video?
This piece has been holding me in my worst moments for over a decade and I keep coming back to it. Thank you for this, thank you so much.
Let’s not hold this message in just our worst moments, but in all moments. Besides, aren’t they all quite fleeting?

SubhanALLAH. Beautiful words sister. May Lord bless your soul.
Thanks komşu.
The reader's voice combined with the words are absolutely touching an inner chord not often reached. Thanks so much for posting
I always come back to this.
Me too:)
@@Project-Shift back again today.
It's so dope that he mentions his friend at the end. Dope.
Incredibly sweet
Brings Good men to tears
Coleman barks is still the greatest at reading rumi in english (in my opinion) his voice is just so entracing you can tell he realy feels rumis words deeply. I love reading rumis poems but listening to coleman barks is just somthing else.
Coleman Barks does this so wonderfully and the video is just perfect, my favorite video of all time. Someone was listening to the emanations of Our Common Father Endlessness from above.
I listen to this poem whenever i feel lonely, Al Rumi had the love that enabeld him to talk about what makes us humans, about that loneliness that makes us real and unique.
"Who ever brought me here, will have to take me home"
I intend to find my new home in the peotry, music and love
I've been watching this video for 9 years. It's the only poem I've ever liked. And I just love this one. The man who reads it just does it so well. Sounds a bit like Jimmy Swaggart.

@@scottlawder7617 thank you
When i listen to this, i feel like im just surrounded by love. I feel in love and in the air plus the music makes you feel like floating in the clouds. And nostalgic of old times as well. A romantic feeling like youre spinning around in love. Gosh it feels good. Thanks and more videos of Rumi and his love poems.
Music is Debussy "Clare De Lune"
Who ever brought me here, will have to take me home
And we like to think that we are in control, but the truth is, we really aren’t. Control is just an Illusion.
I like the words that says, 'I do not plan it, and I do not know what I am going to say next . I am outside of it.' This a gift or the work of a gift which Aristotle said is divine.
You spoke for all of us, as poets do.
What a nice and great voice , that man can rise more than one people with his words Rumi is the god of we call mystic world bless to all
I can't love this more. Responsible for at least 100 views. Thank you.
I’ve lost count. ❤️
Why does this channel not post more videos?! This was gorgeous!
The video is San Francisco Market Street pre 1906 earthquake. You can find the history on google
Live from your heart 💜
Thanks for the kind words. All of these videos will be re uploaded in much higher resolution wide screen shortly - check back soon:) DJ
My beautiful Rumi through a gorgeous voice. Fantastic reading, Sir.
haha another moron
Excellent poem to meditate , i heard it many times
I love this ..it's a youtube classic for me..I have watched it once in a while...for years.
Shout out to all my woke beings here. Remember that some beings prefer a confiable prison than to find a key and escape.
Ones prison is comprised of flesh and bone; and one is picking at the lock.
Thank you , so much for shearing Rumi's words of wisdom with us...
Namaste
Il Hamdu Illah as a Sufi this has such feeling, such beauty, such depth. There was an ocean full of nectar. On the north shore lived the Christians and when they drank of it they called it Jesus and God, on the south shore was the Hindus and they called it Atman and Nirvana, on the west shore was the Jews and they called the ocean Yahweh and on the east shore were the Muslims and we called it Allah and the here after. But to those who know it is the same thing. May Allah bless us all my brothers and sisters. With Love
Beautiful. Who wrote that? 💙
Dear Rahil, I did not see your message and am so sorry for not replying earlier. The quotation came from a saint of the Vedanta path called Rama Krishna. During his life he practiced Hinduism, Christianity and Islam and found God in each of them.
I actually cried after watching this. This is truly amazing. Barks out did himself with this reading. Never been so moved by a poem before. The video as a whole is art at it's finest. Thank you Rumi, and thank you Coleman.
Thanks for another amazing video. It’s beautifully designed suits the poem
" I didn't come here of my own accord."
Čitav dan mislim na to,pa noću,i kažem.
Odakle sam došao,i šta bi trebalo da radim?
Pojma nemam.
Moja duša je iz nekog drugog mjesta,siguran sam u to.
I namjeravam da tamo završim.
Ovo pijanstvo počelo je u nekoj drugoj krčmi.
Kad prođem okolo i vratim se na to mjesto biću
potpuno trijezan.
A dotle,kao ptica sam s drugog kontinenta,u ovoj
ogromnoj krletki.
Bliži se dan kad ću prhnuti,ali ko mi je sad u uhu.
Ko sluša moj glas?Ko mojim ustima kazuje riječi?
Ko mojim očima posmatra svijet?Šta je duša?
Ne mogu da prestanem sa pitanjima.
Kada bih okusio srk odgovora mogao bih uteći iz ovog
zatvora za pijance.
Ne dođoh ovdje svojom voljom,i ne mogu tako da odem.
Ko god da me je doveo ovamo,moraće da me odvede kući.
Ovo pjesništvo.Nikad ne znam šta ću reći.
Ne smišljam.Kada me prođe,postajem gotovo nečujan
i rijetko išta kažem.'
~ Rumi
I listen to this every night before I go to sleep. And everytime near the end when mentions Shams E Tabrizi, I get goosebumps and I fall asleep peacefully after that. Mash'Allah this is such pure art.
I love Rumi tank you for sharing amazing wisdom_Om shanti
Rumi is so amazing strong real spirit
Beautiful poem narrating the human experience
My all time favorite poem.
Rumi + Debussy = heaven
thanks!
I often play this after practising yoga when I am in Shavasana.
I believe this was some rare footage from a street car in Barcelona in the early 20th century. All was new and exciting. A rare glimpse into that time. And to find it matched with Rumi and Coleman Barks...pure majesty! I am indebted to you, dkadagian!
Great!
unfortunatly Rumi's poet is not easy to translate all his original poets are in Farsi/Persian (Iranian language ) and what I heard hear is not very close to the original poet ,I belive its almost imposible to translate rumies poet in any language , its so prefound and deep , its even not easy to intrerpret in FARSI
Beautiful and timeless 💛
The day is coming...
Thank you thank you thank you
Sublime 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Thanks for the clip. Great sound. Ain't good at poetry nor in English. Being a Persian and understanding some English and interested in Iranian culture and literature, can say it is the best translation I have ever heard of him. But I cannot say, one can deeply understand RUMI (Molana Jalaledin) listening to its best translation. Most of the words in his poems has a story behind. Man should first learn Persian literature, the history of Islam, and religions then fully understand what he says.
Beautiful !
Beautiful poetry! It's in SF, Embarcadero street if i am not mistaken. I like the way the camera was following the path towards the building, just like the soul following the path towards its destiny.
Absolutely stunning! The juxtaposition you chose is inspired.
exquisitely beautiful.....thank you
this video is a perfect juxtaposition to such a deep poem
this is beautiful! barks reading is soulful
BEUTIFUL Who Says Words as in my soul.
Thank you very much for the true essence
what a good six minute of chillin right here.
@zzinglish53 "True prophets are the tip of the human arrow."....ah....who said that? I like that.
I broke a guitar sting tonight and what was wierd is that I knew it was about to break a split second before it let snapped. A split second is not much of a heads up, but it's a start.
Rumi is an amazing mind. We are so fortunate to still have so much of his work. I love this video clip. It's so well done. As if Rumi did it himself.
awesome
exquisite...
@ksaeid
The reason that Rumi is known throughout the world, is because he speaks to the Universal in Mankind - what we all share. Some small tastes may be missing, but the flavour is no less beautiful.
Love,
Graham
I absolutely adore this narrators voice
well done. nice work.
God, how I love Rumi. :)
Great...
beautiful!
"This drunkenness began..in some other tavern
When I get back around to that place...I'll be completely sober."
💜💜💜
This peom reminds me of U2's song "Bad":
"If I could, yes I would
If I could, I would
Let it go
Surrender
Dislocate
If I could throw this
Lifeless lifeline to the wind
Leave this heart of clay
See you break, break away."
Rumi, Coleman Banks, and me - we are marvelous together! And now there's you, too! Are we not magnificent?
poetic morning to you all
Lyrics .. certainly, but Claude Debussy most definitely YES. Thank you Lee R. Blum
@zzinglish53, Oh, Debussy's Clair de Lune!.....I should have known, as I have a CD with "romantic piano music" from Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann, Chopin, Liszt and of course Debussy, and it's my favorite piece from my favorite CD.
But is that really Jimmy Swaggart giving the poem?
I thought RUMI was an ancient enlightened master.
Am I ever really right about anything? ......oh, that was brilliant right there. To be aware of my total lack of knowledge is a most brilliant insight.
when I was recording the voice over with Coleman Barks he said that he found out this was in the original poem after his translation and we added it to the short film.
Timeless.. he was born in 1207 and is the same as me...
Yep!
incredibly moving and beautiful
Clair de Lune :)
beautiful
Its in San Fransisco 1908 very well known production one of the first things filmed it is awesome this video.
Super like!
This is so beautiful...
Integrity!
That's Market Street in San Francisco just before the great fire at the turn of the century destroyed most of the area.
sounds like moonlight sonata to me.. one of my favorites by Beethoven.
...to become sober...sobriety...sobirey...(Nuechternheit)...to let loose...The Pilgrim's Progress (from This World to That Which Is to Come)...to release fears...wich is a manifestation (Med.)...evolution...to realise...the cardiac electromagnetic pulse (at one's own figure)...the last...your heart...which melts...with the universe...electromagnetic impetus (stimulus)...to arise...sea of lights...finally...to recur to a point...all this begun...life...conscious mind...wordless...
this is very creative
Thanks - I'd been trying to find out more about the film footage - no credit is given.
Bravo!
existence trapped in object
That look's like old Spadina avenue below College St.
Nice ... :)
Wow, Chopin, Jimmy Swaggert and old San Francisco in black and white. Just kidding about Jimmy but the video did make me forget my troubles for the moment it played. I guess that means it was very powerful, but Chopin is always very powerful. Chopin is God. No doubt about that.
need more like this mmmmmMMMM
this!
روزها فکر من این است و همه شب سخنم
که چرا غافل از احوال دل خویشتنم
از کجا آمده ام آمدنم بهر چه بود
به کجا میروم آخر ننمایی وطنم
مانده ام سخت عجب کز چه سبب ساخت مرا
یا چه بوده است مراد وی از این ساختنم
آنچه از عالم عِلوی است من آن می گویم
رخت خود باز بر آنم که همانجا فکنم
مرغ باغ ملکوتم نِیم از عالم خاک
چند روزی قفسی ساخته اند از بدنم
کیست آن گوش که او می شنود آوازم
یا کدام است سخن می کند اندر دهنم
کیست در دیده که از دیده برون می نگرد
یا چه جان است نگویی که منش پیرهنم
تا به تحقیق مرا منزل و ره ننمایی
یک دم آرام نگیرم نفسی دم نزنم
می وصلم بچشان تا در زندان ابد
به یکی عربده مستانه به هم درشکنم
من به خود نامدم اینجا که به خود باز روم
آنکه آورد مرا باز برد تا وطنم
تو مپندار که من شعر به خود می گویم
تا که هشیارم و بیدار یکی دم نزنم
فين اجدها وهي مترجمة بالعربية
We all do.
...to implode (phys.) ...in the "Self"...so simple...but so difficult (to practise)...but in future...the sun...will be, as will be seen...but at first... (to feel)...
@dkadagian It's really gorgeous and adds a nuance I've never heard in this great poem before. Thanks so much.
"II'm like a bird from another continent, sitting in this aviary."
I think Rumi works whether it's Barcelona or SanFran let alone Islam. Cross racial/gender/culture/religion - Rumi was really wired in. Just glad you liked the work.
