    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
    لم احلم ابدا بسواك ولم اعشق الا اياك وان فقدتك سوف اموت مرتين
