I Have a Fire for You in my Mouth


I have a fire for you in my mouth, but I have a hundred seals
On my tongue.
The flames which I have in my heart would make one mouth –
Ful of both worlds.
Though the entire world should pass away, without the world
I possess the kingdom of a hundred worlds.
Caravans which are loaded with sugar I have in motion for
The Egypt of nonexistence.
The drunkenness of love makes me unaware whether I have
Profit of loss therefrom.
The body’s eye was scattering pearls because of love, till now
I have a pearl-scattering soul.
I am not housebound, for like Jesus I have a home in the fourth
Heaven.
Thanks be to Him who gives soul to the body; if the soul
Should depart, yet I have the soul of the soul.
Seek from me that which Shams-e Tabrizi has bestowed, for
I have the same.
