The Lovers

by Jalal al-Din Muhammad Rumi
Translated by Sharam Shiva



The lovers

will drink wine night and day.

They will drink until they can

tear away the veils of intellect and

melt away the layers of shame and modesty.

When in Love,

body, mind, heart and soul don't even exist.

Become this,

fall in Love, and you will not be separated again.
