Multi-layered existence I know not, I know not The magical artist of time I know not, I know not Hardship, struggle, confusion, I am taught, I am taught Congenial moodiness I know not, I know not My soul is after joy Entertainers will employ This joy seeking existence I know not, I know not This lion in me instills fear The world is a herd of deer This lion and herd of deer I know not, I know not I hear the warning of a friend, "your foes conspire and plot" Conspiracy, friend and foe I know not, I know not Earth is wife, sky man, being their child is my lot This man and wife and this child I know not, I know not This hidden face, gorgeous lashes The arched brow, eye that flashes The moving brow and talking eye I know not, I know not Powerful arm, the nimble bow, Put in flight temporal arrow Bow and arrow and arm and time I know not, I know not Shams-e Tabrizi, to you I’m brought With your hardness I am distraught That shining gem, this hard rock,I know not, I know not. ~ Rumi
