My heart is burning with loveAll can see this flameMy heart is pulsing with passionlike waves on an ocean my friends have become strangersand I’m surrounded by enemiesBut I’m free as the wind
no longer hurt by those who reproach me I’m at home wherever I amAnd in the room of loversI can see with closed eyes
the beauty that dances Behind the veils
intoxicated with love
I too dance the rhythm
of this moving world I have lost my senses
in my world of lovers
Rumi
