Love’s Apocalypse, Love’s Glory

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

The following is from Mawlana Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi’s (q.s.), Matsnawi I, 866-867, and was translated by Shaykh Kabir Edmund Helminski and Shaykha Camille Adams Helminski: 

“Water and clay, when fed on the breath of Jesus,

Spread wings, became a bird and flew.

Your praise of God is a Breath

From Your body of water and clay.

Make it a Bird of Paradise

By breathing into it your Hearts sincerity.”
