Servant Of The Moon - a Poem by Rumi - Ghazal/Ode #2219






This is one of my all time favorite poems of Rumi...it's Maulana's profound yet truly hilarious and intimate chit-chat with his heart..I don't know, maybe I'm just reading it all wrong, but I find this poem to be really funny and hilarious every time I read it in Persian. This poem is also by far one of Rumi's most known and recited one among Farsi-speakers.




Servant Of The Moon.
A poem by Rumi (Ghazal # 2219 from Divan Kabir)
Translation by Solo�

??? ????? 2219 ???? ?????? -?? ???? ???? ??? ??? ??? ???-


I'm a servant of the moon, except for moon, don't say anything.
In front of me, except for honey and sugar, don't say anything.
None of the talk about pain and suffering, nothing but straight talk.
If you don't know what straight talk means,
never mind, just don't say anything!
Last night I just went insane,
Love saw me acting all crazy and scolded me:
"I AM RIGHT HERE!
Stop yelling and ripping your cloths off, just don't say anything!"
I said: "O my Love, I'm scared. I'm just scared of everything."
Love said: "There is nothing to be scared of, just don't say anything!
I'll be whispering a lot of secrets into your ears tonight,
you simply nod your head yes, but don't say anything!"
An incredibly soul-melting moon appeared on the path of my heart,
whispering seductively into my ear:
"Oh how elegant of you to travel on the path of the heart,
but just don't say anything!"
I asked my heart: "What kind of flirting moon is this
sending me all these heart signals?!"
My heart said:"Don't even start, you're not even worth it!
Let it go and just don't say anything!"
I asked my heart: "Was that the face of an angel or a human face I just saw?"
My heart said: "None of those, it was something else, just don't say anything!
It's just that you've been living for too long
inside your house of illusions and images,
GET UP, PACK UP AND LEAVE! JUST DON'T SAY ANYTHING!"
I said: "O heart, go easy on me now, for God's sake,
I thought you were my big daddy?!"
My heart said: "You know what daddy's boy,
it is what it is, Just don't say anything!!"
Rumi

Rumi and Confucius

"Despite the fact that Confucius and Rumi were born in different periods and places, both were born at a time of social upheaval and political turmoil. Consequently, both thinkers tried to provide the means for their people to overcome the times of difficulty, first by understanding, cultivating, and realizing their human potentialities, and then by transforming themselves, their families, and their societies. Interestingly, Rumi and Confucius share more in common than most people would think and their teachings are still meaningful and relevant to the modern world. The wisdom of Confucius and Rumi provides today�s readers with spiritual resources to overcome the challenges of our time and to build bridges of understanding and dialogue among different cultures and civilizations. This paper examines the core ideas of these two great thinkers and provides anthropocosmic insights into their ideas on nature, family and music."
