If this me is not I, then
who am I?
If I am not the one who speaks, then
who does?
If this me is only a robe then
who is
the one I am covering?
Translation by Azima Melita Kolin and Maryam Mafi
Rumi: Whispers of the Beloved

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the one you know me as me
it isn't me
who do you think it is ?
I utter no words with my tongue
who do you think it is ?
I'm only a shirt
from my head to my toes
the one whose shirt is me
who do you think it is ?
Translation by Nader Khalili
