If Rumi Was English by Amin Hedayat
If Rumi Was English – Volume 1: On Recognition of Soul and Ego by Amin Hedayat
In the first story of his book, Rumi tells us a triangular love story in which the king’s sweetheart at some point in their romance, misses her ex-lover and starts covertly agonizing over their parting, so her moods fall off the cliff and endanger her health, making everyone in the castle worried and perplexed. Then just like so many other times, Rumi leaves his narration and starts describing the pain of love:
“Her whine was a symptom issued from her heart! Among the pains, the love pain is worlds apart!
No misery is the same as love miseries. Love is a means of revealing God’s mysteries.
I keep describing love a lot; however, Falling in love, I can’t explain it whatsoever!
Though tongue may sound very descriptive; Without it, love’s more indicative.
The pen was writing all words smoothly fast, But once it got to “love” it could not last!
Explaining it, the brain went into grief; Just love could give us its own perfect brief.”
