LOVE – AN ESSENCE OF ALL RELIGIONS
Jalaludine Rumi
Translated by
Nicholson
Through love
thorns become roses, and
Through love
vinegar becomes sweet wine,
Through love
the stake becomes a throne,
Through love
misfortune becomes good fortune,
Through love
burning fire becomes pleasing light,
Through love
stone becomes soft as butter,
Through love
grief becomes a joy,
Through love
lions become harmless
Through love
sickness becomes health,
Through love
wrath seems to be a mercy,
Through love
the dead rise to life,
Through love
the king becomes a slave.
