Royal Message of Rose

Like the rose I am laughing with all my body, not only with my mouth, because I am without myself, alone with the king of the world.
You who came with torch and at dawn ravished my heart, dispatch my soul after my heart, do not seize my heart alone. Do not in rage and envy make my soul a stranger to my heart; do not leave the former here, and do not summon the latter alone.
Send a royal message, issue a general invitation; how long, O sultan, shall the one be with you and the other alone? If you do not come tonight as yesterday and close my lips, I will make a hundred uproars, my soul, I will not lament alone.

Mevlana Jelaluddin Rumi (Mystical poems of Rumi- A.J.Arberry)
