DEVOID of self.....by Rumi

DEVOID of self I traveled to a place
There in the absence of I , joy filled my Heart .

Without I , His obscured face ,like the Moon 
came forth and kissed my cheek.

In longing for my love , I perished
and from that longing , birth was given to me.

I am eternally drunk , without wine
My joy is endless , without I.

Do not remember me, ever
for I am memory itself , without I.

I am ecstatic without myself , so I say
" O me , may you always be without I."

All the doors were shut to me , and
all opened when He let me in , without I.

Me , I am the one ,free of good and evil
free from obedience and corruption ,without I.
