Soul of the lover

Rumi:
If the soul of the lover
breathes,
it will set fire
to the whole world.
گر جان عاشق دم زند آتش در این عالم زند
Gar jan-e ‘asheq dam zanad
atesh dar in ‘alam zanad

 

I’ve gotten permission from Dr. Alan Godlas (Abdul Haqq), who is a professor at the University of Georgia for Islamic and Sufi studies, to repost his Facebook postings on Islam and Sufism. All translations are done by Abdul Haqq Godlas unless otherwise noted.
