Incantation |
| Anlat bana, Ey Ilham, |
| ouzaklara ve genis topraklara |
| yolu dusenleri |
| «Tell me, o Muse of those |
| who traveled far and wide» |
| Song inspired by a Sufi poem: |
| O brother, Wisdom is pouring into you |
| From the beloved saint of God. |
| You’ve only borrowed it. |
| Although the house of your heart |
| Is lit from the inside. |
| That light is lent by a luminous neighbor |
| Give thanks; |
| don’t be arrogant or vain |
| Pay attention to self-importance. |
| It’s sad that this borrowed state |
| Has put religious communities |
| Far from religious communion. |
| -- by Rumi (Mathnawi I, 3255−3258) |
| -- translated into English by Kabir and Camille Helminski |
