Rumi poetry
In Silence
​
A guide has entered this life in silence.
His message is only heard in silence.
​
Take a sip of his precious wine
And lose yourself.
Don’t insult the greatness of his love,
For he helps all those who suffer, in silence.
​
Polish the mirror between the breaths.
Go with him, beyond words.
He knows your every deed.
He is the one
who moves the wheel of heaven, in silence.
​
Every thought is buried in your heart;
He will reveal them one by one, in silence.
​
Turn each of your thoughts into a bird
And let them fly to the other world.
One is an owl, one is a falcon, one is a crow.
Each one is different from the others
But they are all the same in silence.
​
To see the Moon that cannot be seen
Turn your eyes inward
and look at yourself, in silence.
​
In this world and the next,
Don’t talk about this and that;
Let him show you everything,
shining as one . . . in silence.
