A Love Poem of
Rumi

The lover's food is the love of the bread;
No bread need be at hand:
No one who is sincere in his love is a slave to existence.
Lovers have nothing to do with with with existence;
lovers have the interest without the capital.

Without wings they fly around the world;
without hands they carry the polo ball off the field.

 That dervish who caught the scent of Reality
used to weave basket even though his hand had been cut
off.

Lover have pitched their tents in nonexistence:
they are of one quality and one essence, as nonexistence is.
