Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī - Love letter to Shams

“Wherever you go, east, west, north or south, think of it as a journey into yourself! The one who travels into itself travels the world.”- Shams Tabrizi

O beloved,
our union lasted only a moment,
but our separation can be counted in years.
I watched in stunned silence
as you loaded your camel.
Suddenly night came.
Pitch darkness swallowed me
as I was separated from your sun-face.
You were going.
I stood frozen, in shock.
All the good times we had
were passing away.
If I hadn't been so confused in that moment,
blood would have rushed to my face
and a howl burst from my throat.
I would have begged your pity.
I would have sacrificed my life hundreds of times over to you,
never mind my belongings.
I would have screamed like fire in the dark night.
The fears of the day of resurrection would have been unleashed.
Had I done that, my heart wouldn't have had
to go through the tortures of separation.
It wouldn't have ended up in a situation
that causes even stones to cry.
Separation bends the straight arrow
of the back into a bow.
Tears become bloody;
the heart, naked and exposed.
O my master Shamseddin,
don't break my hope for the sake of your soul
that is already pure as moonlight.
Your words, those pearls of oceans deep,
turn stones into rubies
and give ecstasy to everyone.

So passionate and beautiful, this Love between Rumi and Shams that is both spiritual and romantic. I turned Rumi's words in a pop song with the intention of making the full extent of their Love clear, calling also upon Rumi's later words to Shams... of how "the BeLoved is inside." Thank you so much for this. ruclips.net/video/bvf_FCGkDxE/видео.html
