This time I must confess,

I feel a total hate for myself.

While crowded and swarmed,

my heart wishes to be a single self.

Seeking that single pearl,

I crave to dive deep into this sea.

But fear of murderous waves

makes me beg for your help, my friends.

Scattered with so much going on inside,

I long for nothing but an inner unity.

Duality must be abandoned

if you seek to drink the soul of unity.

You must bet and lose

everything you’ve ever owned

if you truly desire

to become one with your Beloved.

Listen to the secret sound

of the revelation now

when your quest aspires the skies.

Fly away from this lowly earth.

My heavenly soul,

who only nests in the heights,

is tired of its house on earth.

It wants to abandon the body.

It wants to take the final flight.

~ Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi
