Rumishi: My participation

[English to Chinese] Rumi poems

Don't go anywhere that doesn't have me,

Don't turn my back on me and let anything happen in heaven;

On earth or in this world or in the hereafter,

I have to be involved in everything.

What you see but you is illusory,

There is no need to talk to you.

Treat me as if you knew the moon at night,

Become the rose that has recently thorned.

——Rumi (Today's Headline Reader: Translated by Dao Zhengyi)

Don’t go anywhere without me.

Let nothing happen in the sky apart from me,

or on the ground, in this world or that world,

without my being in its happening.

Vision, see nothing I don’t see.

Language, say nothing.

The way the night knows itself with the moon,

be that with me. Be the rose

nearest to the thorn that I am.
