Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi Heart Poems

The ravings which my enemy uttered I heard within my heart;
the secret thoughts he harbored against me I also perceived.
His dog bit my foot, he showed me much injustice; I do not
bite him like a dog, I have bitten my own lip.
...

There is a candle in the heart of man, waiting to be kindled.
In separation from the Friend, there is a cut waiting to be
stitched.
...

The beauty of the heart
is the lasting beauty:
its lips give to drink
of the water of life.
...

My heart is burning with love
All can see this flame
...
