By love - a poem by Rumi



By love, bitter things are made sweet,
And copper turns to gold.
By love, the sediment becomes clear,
And torment is removed.


By love, the dead are made to live,
By love, the sovereign is made a slave.
This love is the fruit of knowledge,
When did folly sit on a throne like this?
