مَنْ كُنتُ مَولاهُ فعَلِيٌّ مَولاهُ

Man kuntu Maulahu fa Ali-un Maulahu

One who has me as his master has Alī as his master.

"Your Old Life was Frantic, Running From Silence"

Poem by Maulana Jelaluddin Rumi
Translated by Coleman Barks


Die..and be quiet
Quietness is the surest sign that you've died
Your old life was frantic, running from silence
The speechless full moon comes out now
