When You Become The Rain

When you  become rain, don’t ask who’s house it is
The roof of the shrine and the mosque and the tavern are one

When you become rain, don’t count the vessels

Glass or the bowl and the cup are one

                                                                                                                      
Oh Rain! You come from God!
Explain  wise one,

Cleverness and wisdom of the simple are one

Since all must become the dust beneath his feet

The mighty Lion, the Camel, the Tiger and the Butterfly,are one

When you cry to THAT ONE, from the depth of your being,

The chants of the monks, prayers of the devout and the screams of the drunken ones,

Are all one!

From the powers of THE ONE, no matter how much is used

In its creative Force, Mighty Hercules and the Ant are one!

Understand This and you see God
Do not understand, The place of worship

And the Tavern are ONE!                                  (Rumi)

باران که شدى مپرس ، اين خانه کيست
سقف حرم و مسجد و ميخانه يکيست

باران که شدى،  پياله ها را نشمار
جام و قدح و کاسه و پيمانه يکيست

باران!تو که از پيش خدا مى آیی !
توضيح بده عاقل و فرزانه يکيست

بر درگه او چونکه بيفتند به خاک
شير و شتر و پلنگ و پروانه يکيست

با سوره ى دل، اگر خدا را خواندى
حمد و فلق و نعره ى مستانه يکيست

از قدرت حق، هر چه گرفتند به کار
در خلقت حق، رستم و موریانه يکيست

گر درک کنى، خودت خدا را بينى
درکش نکنى، کعبه و بتخانه يکيست
