《在我門口定居，成為流浪者》/魯米

來自專欄魯米的詩

一生無所愛是

沒意義的一生

愛是生命之水

用心

用靈魂

飲下它

A lifetime without Love is of no account

Love is the Water of Life

Drink it down with heart and soul!

Divan-i-Shams 11909

愛者與我耳語：

寧當獵物也不要做獵人

在我面前裝作糊塗人

別老想當大神，要當一粒微塵

在我門口定居，成為流浪者

別假裝成蠟燭，要當飛蛾

這樣你就能品味生活的滋味

才會知道為人民服務的深層意義

肖林振/譯

WHISPERS OF LOVE

Lover whispers to my ear,

"Better to be a prey than a hunter.

Make yourself My fool.

Stop trying to be the sun and become a speck!

Dwell at My door and be homeless.

Dont pretend to be a candle, be a moth,

so you may taste the savor of Life

and know the power hidden in serving."

Mathnawi V. 411-414 (translated by Kabir Helminski)
