Contents

Introductions -- Songs and interrogations -- Rumi's dialogues with God / James W. Morris -- A guest in the house of Rumi : doorways to translation / Anne Twitty -- A journey through love and wisdom / Leili Anvar-Chenderoff -- Poems -- Love is my only companion -- My friend, which is better -- Wake up, wake up -- Look for something beyond your grasp -- Oh how nameless, how light -- Gracefully you pierce the heart -- This fasting sifts the soul -- I give my cloak to the one -- Let love, the water of life -- If you long to be purified -- How could I have known -- I said : I've made a vow -- A friend is the one who beheads you -- Every night the image of my Turk -- Walking on your path -- Look at my sallow face -- My idol entered the door -- Do you know what this lute music -- See how love merges with lovers -- Whether I'm drunk or sober -- One who thought the heart -- I'm the slave of the moon -- Seek the art of loosening knots -- Give me last night's wine -- The fire of love -- You ask me -- Rise up, let's raise a riot -- All that pure ruby wine -- I want pure wine -- Time will put an end to this tumult -- If you are not mad -- Ask the lord of this house -- I won't leave this light-filled house -- Even though we are lost -- Happy the one who's free -- If a tree could move -- Love is the way of our prophet -- We are from above -- If you don't catch the scent -- What a rapture to fly in the sky -- The heart is like grain -- I am your friend -- Lovers, o lovers -- Alas, time has passed.
