Through Eternity: Homage to Molavi (Rumi)
By Dastan Ensemble & Shahram Nazeri

The intellectual is always showing off,

the lover is always getting lost.

The intellectual runs away.

afraid of drowning;

the whole business of love

is to drown in the sea.

Intellectuals plan their repose;

lovers are ashamed to rest.

The lover is always alone.

even surrounded by people;

like water and oil, he remains apart.

The man who goes to the trouble 

of giving advice to a lover

get nothing. He's mocked by passion.

Love is like musk. It attracts attention.

Love is a tree, and the lovers are its shade.

Longitudes and Attitudes : The World in the Age of Terrorism

All day and night, music,

a quiet, bright

reedsong. If it

fades, we fade.

The Heavenly Candle has risen in the East,
O wine servant, pass me the ruby drink
of dawn!

Take away my mind, for what use have I
for it now?

I will not awake, let me dream and forget
the trouble of this world.

Take my skull as a shield when stones rain
down from the sky;

Take my heart as a target when evil
tongues' arrows point at me.

The hermit has the cave as his due,
but Sa'di wants to wander to the woods.

What concern has the wise artist for these ignoramuses?!

-Sa'di

The mystery does not get clearer by repeating the question,
nor is it bought with going to amazing places.

Until you've kept your eyes
and your wanting still for fifty years,
you dont begin to cross over from confusion.
