Happy Birthday, Rumi


The breezes at dawn have secrets to tell you
Don't go back to sleep!
You must ask for what you really want.
Don't go back to sleep!
People are going back and forth
across the doorsill where the two worlds touch,
The door is round and open
Don't go back to sleep!

Jalal al-Din Muhammad Rumi, thought to have been born on this day in 1207
