Sanskrit blog: A lyric of Rumi


रूमिरुवाच
मम चेतस्तव प्रेम्णा शरीराद्गगनं गतम्
त्वयाहमुद्धृतो द्वाभ्यां जगद्भ्यामभवं प्रभो ।
समागते तवादित्ये द्रुतम् मद्वर्षसीकरैः ।
उन्नयेत् वारिधरवत् मच्चेतस्तव तिग्मता ॥
A rough rendering of:
Your love lifts my soul from the body to the sky
And you lift me up out of the two worlds.
I want your sun to reach my raindrops,
So your heat can raise my soul upward like a cloud.
Jalal ad-Dīn Muhammad Rumi
