Dont go to sleep this night by Rumi

Don't Go to Sleep This Night

don't go to sleep
this night
one night is worth
a hundred thousand souls

the night is generous
it can give you
a gift of the full moon
it can bless your soul
with endless treasure

every night when you feel
the world is unjust
never ending grace
descends from the sky
to soothe your souls

the night is not crowded like the day
the night is filled with eternal love
take this night
tight in your arms
as you hold a sweetheart

remember the water of life
is in the dark caverns
don't be like a big fish
stopping the life's flow
by standing in the mouth of a creek

during a night
the blessed prophet
broke all the idols and
God remained alone
to give equally to all
an endless love

Translated by Nader Khalili
Rumi, Fountain of Fire
Cal-Earth, September 1994

This is sooo deep and moving! Imagining the smashing of idols just

so everyone can feel loved by God!!!

during a night

the blessed prophet

broke all the idols and

God remained alone

to give equally to all

an endless love

Finger  of Rumi pointing to the source of everything; do not focus on his single finger and try to see what rumi wants you to seeor hear or think about it.
