Rumi (1207 – 1273): What is Love?
.
“What is Love?”, questions me a mate.
I respond to him: “I do not join this debate!”
.
“If you become like me, you will see its gate;
Only when it calls you, you shall learn its rate!”

پرسید یکی که عاشقی چیست
گفتم که مپرس از این معانی
.
آنگه که چو من شوی ببینی
آنگه که بخواندت به خوانی
