A Rumi Poem
Music composed by Garo Altinian
English version by Coleman Barks

lyrics

A MOMENT OF HAPPINESS

A moment of happiness
You and I
Sitting on the veranda,
Apparently two but one in soul,
You and I.

We feel the flow of water of life here
You and I,
With the gardens beauty
And the birds singing.

The stars will be watching us
And we will show them
What it is
To be a thin crescent moon

You and I, un-self
Will be together indifferent
To idle speculations
You and I

The parrots of heaven
Will be cracking sugar
As we laugh together,
You and I

In one form upon this earth and
In another form on a sweet land
