Mamak Khadem Official Video feat. Chris Martin "Across The Oceans"

Poetry of Maulana Jalāl ad-Dīn Rūmī,
Translated by Coleman Barks
If you want to be a lover, give up
trying to figure the odds
on what you should do next.
Be a moth! Dive off the cliff!
Become the fearless flame.
Tear down your house.
Live with lovers. Wash your heart
of any anger. Wash it seven times!
Be the wineglass. Toast with yourself!
You are the wineglass. Toast with yourself!
You are the wineglass; The wine here
is love. This love
