إيران بِد الفرس Rumi أشعار Afghanistan اللغة التركيةterrorism Judaism Christianity commentary analysis
Description: From a lecture entitled"A Look at Iran Through the Eyes of Rumi".Apologies,I do not know the lecturer's name.The producer of this clip is Dale Stuepfert. Rumi founded the Mevlevi Order of dervishes, better known as the Whirling Dervishes of Sufism.His descendants maintain a wonderful website.Afghanistan,Iran,and Turkey all claim Rumi as theirs. The following is a translation of the original poem that is recited.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What is to be done, O Muslims? For I do not recognise myself. I am neither Christian, nor Jew, nor Gabr, nor Muslim. I am not of the East, nor of the West, nor of the land, nor of the sea;I am not of Nature's mint, nor of the circling heaven.I am not of earth, nor of water, nor of air, nor of fire;I am not of the empyrean, nor of the dust, nor of existence, nor of entity. I am not of India, nor of China, nor of Bulgaria, nor of Saqsin. I am not of the kingdom of Iraqian, nor of the country of Khorasan I am not of this world, nor of the next, nor of Paradise, nor of Hell. I am not of Adam, nor of Eve, nor of Eden and Rizwan. My place is the Placeless; my trace is the Traceless; 'tis neither body nor soul, for I belong to the soul of the Beloved. I have put duality away; I have seen that the two worlds are one; One I seek, One I know, One I see, One I call. He is the first, He is the last, He is the outward, He is the inward; I am intoxicated with Love's cup, the two worlds have passed out of my ken; if once in my life I spent a moment without thee, from that time and from that hour I repent of my life. If once in this world I win a moment with thee,I will trample on both worlds; I will dance in triumph for ever. ----------------------- - Mawlana Jalal-ud-Din Balkhi-Rumi |
