17 Dec1273 Anniversary of Rumi''s death.

Oh Beloved,
take me.
Liberate my soul.
Fill me with your love and
release me from the two worlds.

If I set my heart on anything but you
let fire burn me from inside.

Oh Beloved,
take away what I want.
Take away what I do.
Take away what I need.
Take away everything
that takes me from you.

Translated by Shahram Shiva
Hush - Don't Say Anything To God
