by Jalaluddin Rumi
Did Yusaf not leave his father,
in grief and tears and despair?Did he not, by such a journey,
gain kingdom and fortune wide?Did not the Prophet travel
to far Medina, friend?And there he found a new kingdom
and ruled a hundred lands.You lack a foot to travel?
Then journey into yourself!And like a mine of rubies
receive the sunbeams? print!Out of yourself ? such a journey
will lead you to your self,It leads to transformation
of dust into pure gold!–Jalauddin Rumi

Salam mass Herry, doakan saya dapat pencerahan sebagaimana Maulana Rumi ya !
Oh Maulana Rumi we salute you from land of East
we smell the perfumes of your unwalled garden
we met and took some wisdom from Sulaiman Dede
The master of Konya despite many pretenders
One American faqir sat at your feet and kissed you
He sing and turn and whirl around in ecstasy
Haji Issa and Haji Abdal Aziz got the special izin
The pages of your Mathnawi became alive
until it reached a malaysian faqir in europe
Oh Rumi, we honor you, we wear the red tall fez
The perfume, whirlings and secrets fly here and there
we knew who your ardent students and masters
Dr Abdad ar-Rauwi in Pearl Island sing it
Another seeker at Bamboo River of Kuang Forest drink it
One faqir make a bow and shoot by your arrows
Oh Allah, bless all those true lovers, warriors and inheritors
of our Maulana Rumi baraka and karama
and bless our Master, Helper of Two Worlds
and his family and companions at every instant
so we can set out and journey under Your care.
