Rumi in Divan Shams: With all my soul I search and seek My environ my eyes do trick Where is it gone? Why is it missed? Nowhere to be found in this earthly feast In every direction I glance and peek Yet its signs to me don’t speak O pious men, where is that beauty That like a candle glows in duty. Affirm that name, whoever thus repeat To him even death will taste soft & sweet Whoever once that face has kissed His bones are blessed in gravely mist. Which do I praise? That face or hair? Whom both worlds enslave and spare. No wonder the earth falls out of sight Love transmutes all to celestial light. Praise Shams-e Tabrizi far and wide From seekers his face do not hide.
