We are as the Flute
We are as the flute, and the music in us is from thee;
we are as the mountain and the echo in us is from thee.
We are as pieces of chess engaged in victory and defeat:
our victory and defeat is from thee, O thou whose qualities are comely!
Who are we, O Thou soul of our souls,
that we should remain in being beside thee?
We and our existences are really non-existence;
thou art the absolute Being which manifests the perishable.
We all are lions, but lions on a banner:
because of the wind they are rushing onward from moment to moment.
their onward rush is visible, and the wind is unseen:
may that which is unseen not fail from us!
 Our wind whereby we are moved and our being are of thy gift;
our whole existence is from thy bringing into being.

बांसुरी से हम
बांसुरी से हम बजते स्वर तेरे उर साजे ,
पर्वत से हम और प्रतिध्वनी तेरी ही है.
मोहरे शतरंजी जैसे हम जीतें हारें ,
जीत हार तुम देते ,हे गुणागार करूणामय!
कौन भला हम, हे हर प्राणी के प्राणेश्वर,
कि अस्तित्व हमारा तुमसे पृथक कहाँ है ?
हम और अस्तित्व हमारा लेश मात्र है ;
तुम आधार परम, व्यक्त, नश्वर तुम ही से.
हम सब केसरि, किन्तु अंकित ज्यूँ पट पर,
प्राण वायु से झंकृत,चेतन, बढ़ते प्रतिपल.
गति उनकी दृष्टव्य, प्राण वायु न दृश्य ;
काश अगोचर सत्ता हम से विरत रहे ना !
हम में झंकृत प्राण,मात्र अनुकम्पा तेरी ;
ये समष्टि,अस्तित्व हमारा व्यक्त तुम्ही से .

Close the Language Door
There is some kiss we want
with our whole lives,
the touch of Spirit on the body.
Seawater begs the pearl
to break its shell.
And the lily, how passionately
it needs some wild Darling!
At night, I open the window
and ask the moon to come
and press its face against mine.
Breathe into me.
Close the language-door,
and open the love-window,
The moon won't use the door,
only the window.









भाषा के पट बंद करो अब 

तरसें हम ऐसे चुम्बन को,
आजीवन अनवरत सदा से
देह पाए स्पर्श अलौकिक .
सागर जल भिक्षा मांगे - मोती
तोड़ तनिक तो भित्ती .
तड़प कुमुदिनी हाय कैसे ,
खोजे उन्मादी प्रेमी को !
नित्य निशा, मैं खोलूं खिड़की
कहूँ चाँद से आ मिलने को
ढक मेरे मुख को अपने से .
भर श्वान्से अपनी मेरे में 
भाषा के पट बंद करो अब ,
खोलो खिड़की प्रेम राग की .
चाँद नहीं आता द्वारे से ,
झांके वह केवल खिड़की से !
When you seek Love
with all your heart,
you shall find its echoes..
in the universe !



जो खोजो प्रेम को
उर भर यतन से,
मिलेगी प्रतिध्वनी इसकी
सृष्टि के हर कण से !




If you have much, give of your wealth;
If you have little, give of your heart.

है अगर ज्यादा,दो धन दूसरों को ;
है अगर थोडा,दो फिर मन सभी को.

"Passion And Desire Bind Your HEART.
Remove The Locks-
Become A Key, Become A key . . . "

यौवन का उद्दाम मद और कामनाएं जकड़ कर रखते ह्रदय को
तोड़ दो ताले -
बनो कुंजी ..बन जाओ कुंजी ..

If You Have Lost Heart 
In The Path Of Love
 Flee To Me Without Delay
 I Am A Fortress; Invincible."

"खो चुके यदि हृद किसीके प्रेम में तो,
उड़ के ततक्षण पास आ जाओ मेरे तुम
मैं हूँ प्रश्रय एक जो चिर है ... अजेय

rumi is the most open.bold,simple spiritual poet of our age. he touches straight your heart...leaves you....drenched with divine love and intoxicates you to the chore.


Mevlana Jelalludin Rumi was a 13th C. Mystic and Poet. He was born into the Persian Empire in what is today Balkh, Afghanistan and lived out his life in Konya, Turkey. His two signature literary works- "The Mathnawi" and the "Divani Shams i Tabriz" are considered second only in importance to the Koran in the Middle East.
In the West, he has outsold Shakespeare in the English language for 2 decades, becoming the best loved poet in America today.
Canadian filmmaker Tina Petrova shares her extraordinary encounter with Rumi (a true story) as she leads us on a road trip of discovery across America to the shifting sands of the Middle East, seeking out scholars who animate his works in the world today. Featured are: UN award winning architect Nader Khalili- best known for his emergency shelter designs, the most popular presenter of Rumi - Coleman Barks, activist and author Andrew Harvey, the hypnotic spin of the Whirling Dervishes of Turkey and Shaikh Kabir Helminski - who heads up Rumi’s spiritual order today in the west.
