If you never searched for truth
come with us
and you will become a seeker
If you were never a musician
come with us
and you will find your voice
You may posses immense wealth
come with us
and you will become love's beggar
You may think yourself a master
come with us
and love will turn you into a slave
If you've lost your spirit,
come with us
take off your silk coverings,
put on our rough cloak
and we will bring you back to life.
Ghazal/Ode 74,
Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi,
may Allah sanctify his soul & bless his secret
Rumi: Hidden Music, HarperCollins Publishers Ltd, 2001
