Bismillah

Ghazal 1532


come
let's fall
in love
again

let's turn
all the dirt
in this world
to shiny gold

come
let's be
a new spring
a love reborn

find our aroma
from the essence
of all who
emit heavenly fragrance

like a fresh tree
bloom and spread
all the blessings
right from inside

"RUMI, Fountain of Fire"
Poetic translation April 1991 by Nader Khalili
