Rumi - Those who don't feel this Love - Sufi Poetry

Jalal ad-Din Rumi (1207-1273) is a Persian poet known simply as Rumi. He is one of the most popular poets in the world. Rumi was also a mystic, belonging to the Sufi tradition in Islam. He wrote in Persian, Turkish, Arabic, and even (at times) Greek. So even in his own day, there was something universal and even cosmopolitan about Rumi’s wisdom and ideas.

"Those who don't feel this Love" (Ode 314)

Those who don't feel this Love
pulling them like a river,
those who don't drink dawn
like a cup of spring water
or take in sunset like supper,
those who don't want to change,
let them sleep.
This Love is beyond the study of theology,
that old trickery and hypocrisy.
If you want to improve your mind that way,
sleep on.
I've given up on my brain.
I've torn the cloth to shreds
and thrown it away.
If you're not completely naked,
wrap your beautiful robe of words
around you,
and sleep.
