【The Essential Rumi】

Jalāl ad-Dīn Mohammad Rūmī (1207—1273)

         Don’t try to steer the boat.

       Don’t open shop for yourself. Listen. Keep silent.

         You are not God’s mouthpiece. Try to be an ear,

         And if you do speak, ask for explanations.

         You have forgotten the One

         who doesn’t care about ownership,

         who doesn’t try to turn a profit

         from every human exchange.

         I will be waiting here….

         For your silence to break,

         For your soul to shake,

         For your love to wake!

【《聆听》】

我主•鲁米(1207生—1273卒)

            别想控制一艘船。

            别为自己开一家店铺。聆听。保持安静。

            你不是真理的话筒。虚心当一只耳朵，

            如果你真想要说话，那就去探求未知。

            你已经忘了这个人:

            他不在乎占有权，

            他不关心谋求每一笔私利。

            我会一直在这里等待。

            等待你打破沉默，

            等待你的灵魂产生共鸣，

            等待你的爱获得苏醒！
