If you reach for a star
You are a star
If you try
To make a living
You are merely bread
Try to get this secret message
As your last
You are what you seek
In your future
And the past.
Translated by Nader Khalili
Half of our life is lost in charming others. The other half is lost in going through the anxieties caused by others. Leave this play. You have played enough. – Rumi
