I came to take you by the hand
To deprive you of your heart and your self and settle you
In the Heart and in the Soul.
I came in the midst of a beautiful spring, O rosebush!
To surround you with my arms and hold you.
I came to invest you, in this abode, with splendor,
I am carrying you to the heights of the heavens,
Like the prayer of all the Beloved.
~ Mevlana Jelaluddin Rumi
Translation by Eva de Vitray-Meyerovitch
