I Love You Forever: An Exquisite Collection of the Loving Poems by Rumi: An Authentic Translation (Poetry Collections by Rumi, Hafiz, and Other Persian Poets)

Dancing for Happiness

As you show your flower-color face,

You make the stone dance for happiness.

Unveil your face another time;

Let lovers hear your voice;

So that knowledge loses its way,

And the wise break the custom;

So that water turns into a gem for your image;

So that fire leaves the battle.

With your goodness, I don’t want even the Moon;

Neither those few earthly extinguishing pendulums.

With your face, I don’t talk about the mirror or the rusted old sky.

You blew again and recreated another form of this world.

In longing for His Mars-like eyes, O Venus!

Play the music again with the harp.
