Come my Beloved, come dont turn away from me, come my deceitful Moon!

Look at this forlorn and thirsty lover come my drunken Sweetheart! You are my life, my senses, you are everything! Be the rising Moon in my dark nights I am thirsty for your light. Use my hands, look through my eyes, listen with my ears. You are the soul of every living thing. Come, come back dancing like the rays of the Sun and chase away the shadows. You are the banner of the New World and the mind is at your feet. Come back my LOVE My broken heart cannot bear more passion, no more promises. Ive had enough of sleepless nights, of my unspoken grief, of my tired wisdom. Come my treasure, my breath of life come and dress my wounds and be my cure. Enough of words. Come to me without a sound. .... Rumiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii A shout comes out of my room where I've been cooped up. After all my lust and dead living I can still live with you. You want me to. You fix and bring me food. You forget the way I've been. The ocean moves and surges in the heat of the middle of the day, in the heat of this thought I'm having. Why aren't all human resistances burning up with this thought? It is a drum and arms waving. It is a bonfire at midnight on the top edge of a hill, this meeting again with you. .... Rumiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

How very close is your soul with mine i know for sure everything you think goes through my mind i am with you now and doomsday not like a host caring for you at a feast alone

with you i am happy all the times the time i offer my life or the time you gift me your love offering my life is a profitable venture each life i give you pay in turn a hundred lives again in this house there are a thousand dead and still souls making you stay as this will be yours a handful of earth cries aloud i used to be hair or i used to be bones and just the momnet when you are all confused leaps forth a voice hold me close i'm love and i'm always yours Rumiiiii I was going to tell you my story but waves of pain drowned my voice. I tried to utter a word but my thoughts became fragile and shattered like glass. Even the largest ship can capsize in the stormy sea of love, let alone my feeble boat which shattered to pieces leaving me nothing but a strip of wood to hold on to. Small and helpless, rising to heaven on one wave of love and falling with the next I don't even know if I am or I am not. When I think I am, I find myself worthless, when I think I am not, I find my value. Like my thoughts, I die and rise again each day so how can I doubt the resurrection? Tired of hunting for love in this world, at last I surrender in the valley of love and become free. ~Rumiiii

You Be Me..I You My mind ur thoughts My eyes your visions My heart your beats My body your breath My breath your fragrance My lips your smile

My life your living My ears your sound My hands your work My legs your walk My pen your words Or I say you be me.I be you Avdi

Ander khawab vchora hoya, Khabar na payndi teri Soni ban wich luti saiyaan, Soor palang ney gheyri Ever separated, my dreams are dreary,

Looking for you, my eyes are weary. All alone I am robbed in a desert, Waylaid by a bunch of way words. Mullan Qazi rah batawaan, Deen dharam dey pherey Aye taan thag jugat dey jhaar, lawaanjaal chufereey The Mullah and Qazi show me the way, Their maze of Dharma that is in sway. They are the confirmed thieves of time, they spread their net saintly crime. Karam sharo dey dharam batawan, Sangal pawan pereen Zaat mazhab yeh ishq na pochdaa, Ishq shara da weri Their time-worn norms are seldom right, With these they chain my feet so toght. My love cares not for caste or creed, To the rituals faith I pay no heed. Nadioon paar aye mulk sajan da, lehar lobh ney gheri Satgor beri perhi khalotey, ten kion lai aweri My Master lives on yonder bank, While I am caught in the gale of greed. With boat of anchor, He stands in wait, I must hasten, I cant be late. Bulleh Shah sho tenoon milsi. Dil noo dey dileyri Pritam pass tey tolna kis noon? bhlioon shaker dopheri Bulleh Shah must find his love, He neednt have the last fright. His love is around, yet he looks for Him, Misled in the broad daylight. Aa mil yaar saarley, Meri jaan dikhaan ney gyheri Come my love take care of me, I am in great agony. Uth gaye gawandon yaar Rabba hun ki kariye There goes my Love! What do I do, my Lord? Uth chaley hun rahinde nahin Hoya saath tiyar Rabba hun ki kariye Hes already made a move His staying back is hard
