Rumi-2

I am really impressed by the English translations of Rumi's poems. I think they are so soft, so pure, so delightful that they can 'cross the boundaries' and 'language barries'. Sometimes, they make me happy; sometimes, they make me cry. Some are just sudden revelations or a strike at the heart...There are lots of things to share but I hesitate.
So I will continue sharing his poems. These are from the book entitled "Unseen Rain: Quatrains of Rumi" by John Moyne and Coleman Barks. Threshold Books. 1986 (Rubaiyat/rubailer)
I may provide originals in Persian (Farsca/Farsi) and Turkish translations as well. May be.
