A hundred flames shine in the eyes.
They come from this finest part of the heart where fire dwells.
How strange! In this burning place
There are so many roses, so much greenery, so much jasmine.
Through this fire, the garden cools down And water weds the flame.
~ Rumi Ghazal (Ode) 685 Breathing Truth - Quotations from Jalaluddin Rumi Selected and Translated by Muriel Maufroy Sanyar Press - London, 1997
