Your absence makes beauty horror, widowing my sight. ~ Jalaluddin Muhammad Rumi

Where You dwell is dear to my sight
A celestial city bedecked in light.

In whatever corner You are found
Small as a needle's eye, is holy ground.

Wherever the rainbow of Your face alights
Be it the dank gorge of a well, it's paradise.

With Your presence in hell a heaven is discerned
The rigour of prison to a lover's garden is turned.

The devil's chamber
with You glows with delight.

Your absence makes beauty horror,
widowing my sight.

~ Jalaluddin Muhammad Rumi
