Haven't I told you
don't run away from me
you'll find me like a fountainhead
wherever you go in this mirage

even if you leave me
with anger for a hundred thousand years
you'll finally return
since I'm your final home

haven't I told you
don't be fooled with
the spangles in life
I'm your final fulfillment

haven't I told you
that I'm the sea and you're a small fish
you're better off staying with me
than venturing the dry shores

haven't I told you
don't go towards the trap
like a bird enticed by bait
come back to me I'm your endless strength

haven't I told you
others will kill your fire
stay with me who will set you
on flame and warm your soul

haven't I told you
others will disillusion you
you'll lose the fountainhead of
the solace I've found for you

if you're enlightened by
the lantern of your heart
guiding you to God's house
look at me I may be the path.

Rumi
