Whispers of Love
Romantic Love Poems
by Jalal ad-Din Rumi
Lover whispers to my ear,
Make yourself my fool...
Whispers of Love
Lover whispers to my ear,
Better to be a prey than a hunter.
Make yourself My fool.
Stop trying to be the sun and become a speck!
Dwell at My door and be homeless.
Don't pretend to be a candle, be a moth,
so you may taste the savor of Life
and know the power hidden in serving.
- Jalal ad-Din Rumi
Mathnawi V. 411-414
Translated by Kabir Helminski
Your task is not to seek for love,
but merely to seek and find all
the barriers within yourself that
you have built against it.
- Jalal ad-Din Rumi
