Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi Poems

  • Le Temple De L'amour
    Le temple de l'amour n'est pas l'amour lui-même;
    Le véritable amour est le trésor,
    Pas les murs.
    N'admirez pas la décoration, ...
  • Der Tempel Der Liebe
    Der Tempel der Liebe ist nicht die Liebe selbst;
    Wahre Liebe ist der Schatz,
    Nicht die Wände darüber.
    Bewundern Sie die Dekoration nicht, ...
  • El Templo Del Amor
    El templo del amor no es el amor mismo;
    El verdadero amor es el tesoro
    No las paredes al respecto.
    No admires la decoración, ...
  • Defeated By Love
    The sky was lit
    by the splendor of the moon
    So powerful
    I fell to the ground ...
  • I See So Deeply Within Myself
    I see so deeply within myself.
    Not needing my eyes, I can see everything clearly.
    Why would I want to bother my eyes again
    Now that I see the world through His eyes?...

Edgar Albert Guest Poem
The Killing Place
 by Edgar Albert Guest

We're hiking along at a two-forty pace
We 're making life seem like a man-killing race,
With our nerves all on edge and our jaws firmly set
We go rushing along; with our brows lined with sweat
And our cheeks pale and drawn every minute we dash,
And the goal that we 're after is merely more cash.
