218 <br />I have a fire for you in my mouth, but I have a hundred seals <br />on my tongue. <br />The flames which I have in my heart would make one mouth- <br />ful of both worlds. <br />Though the entire world should pass away, without the world <br />I possess the kingdom of a hundred worlds. <br />Caravans which are loaded with sugar I have in motion for <br />the Egypt of nonexistence. <br />The drunkenness of love makes me unaware whether I have <br />profit of loss therefrom. <br />The body’s eye was scattering pearls because of love, till now <br />I have a pearl-scattering soul. <br />I am not housebound, for like Jesus I have a home in the fourth <br />Heaven. <br />Thanks be to Him who gives soul to the body; if the soul <br />should depart, yet I have the soul of the soul. <br />Seek from me that which Shams-e Tabrizi has bestowed, for <br />I have the same.<br /><br />Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-have-a-fire-for-you-in-my-mouth-2/
