【The Guest House】

Jalāl ad-Dīn Mohammad Rūmī (1207—1273)

            This being human is a guest house.

            Every morning a new arrival.

            A joy, a depression, a meanness,

            some momentary awareness comes

            As an unexpected visitor.

            Welcome and entertain them all!

            Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,

            who violently sweep your house

            empty of its furniture,

            still treat each guest honorably.

            He may be clearing you out

            for some new delight.

            The dark thought, the shame, the malice,

            meet them at the door laughing,

            and invite them in.

            Be grateful for whoever comes,

            because each has been sent

            as a guide from beyond.

【《客栈》】

我主•鲁米(1207生—1273卒)

            做人就象是一家客栈

            每个早晨，都是一位新来的客人

            喜悦、沮丧、卑鄙

            一瞬的觉悟来临

            就像一个意外的访客

            欢迎和招待每一位客人！

            即使他们是一群悲伤之徒

            来扫荡你的客房

            将家具一扫而光

            但你要款待每一位宾客

            他或许会为你打扫

            并带来新的喜悦

            如果是阴暗的思想、 羞耻和怨恨

            你也要在门口笑脸相迎

            邀请他们进来

            无论谁来，都要感激

            因为每一位都是

            由世外派来

            指引你的向导
