Dear all,

as far as poetry is concerned I heard once that the best poetry is in Persian, and I started reaserching the matter, turned out I fell in love with Rumi, here it is my favourite poem from him:

Do You Love Me?


A lover asked his beloved,
Do you love yourself more
than you love me?

The beloved replied,
I have died to myself
and I live for you.

I’ve disappeared from myself
and my attributes.
I am present only for you.

I have forgotten all my learning,
but from knowing you
I have become a scholar.

I have lost all my strength,
but from your power
I am able.

If I love myself
I love you.
If I love you


Hope you enjoyed
