If you can only reflect like a clean mirror
if you can only reflect
like a clean mirror
you'll be that magical spirit
transmute from a wave
to an ocean
from an abyss
to surpass an angel
your soul and mine
used to be mingled
breathing as one
journeying as one
though you're in the limelight now
you must still kiss a candle
to feel the essence
to feel the light
Ghazal (Ode) 3264
Translated by Nader Khalili
"Rumi, Fountain of Fire"
