The path of Love isn't easy
I am shipwrecked and must be sunk.
~Rumi

If you see some blood here and there,
know it has fallen from my eye.

The Conversations (Maqalat)
of Shams of Tabriz

That barbed wire on your path is the mind
Cut the wire and your path clearly find.
Heart trickster, soul veil and mind bind
To find the path you must put all three behind.
When you transcend heart and soul as well as mind
It is like giving sight to the blind.
Make your chest like a target well defined
That bow is strung, the arrow is well aligned
Only that chest in complaint can open tongue
On whose face hundred arrows have been flung
To think love is for the feeble is just wrong
Love is for the courageous and the strong.

Translations from Rumi's Divan-e Shams
