That moon which the sky never saw..by Rumi

That moon 
which the sky never saw
even in dreams
has risen again
bringing a fire
that no water can drown

See here where the body
has its house
and see here my soul

the cup of love has made the one
drunk
and the other a ruin

When the tavern keeper
became my heart's companion

love turned my blood
to wine
and my heart burned on a spit

When the eye is full of him
a voice resounds

Oh cup
be praised
oh wine be proud

Suddenly when my heart saw
the ocean of love

it leapt away from me calling
Look for me

The face of Beloved
the glory of her eyes
is the moon that hearts follow
like clouds
