Overwhelmed by the eternal Wine, The heart was reciting joyfully...by Rumi

At every instant the heart hears 
this call from the blazing sun: 

"Renounce the torch of the earth 
and gain the torch of beyond."

Since you are serving the Beloved,
why hide ?

Gold shines always brighter
from the wounds inflicted
by the goldsmith.

Overwhelmed by the eternal Wine,
The heart was reciting joyfully:

"The wine may tear my life away,
it will give me another life."
