about

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

lyrics

Say I am You

I am dust particles in the sunlight.
I am the round sun.
To bits of dust I say, Stay.
To the sun, Keep moving.

I am morning mist,
and the breathing of evening.
I am wind in the top of a grove,
and the surf on the cliff.

Mast, rudder, helmsman and keel,
I am also coral reef they founder on.
I am a tree with a trained parrot on its branches.
Silence, thought and voice.

The musical air coming through a flute,
And a spark off a stone.
Candle and the moth crazy around it.
I’m the rose and nightingale.
What is and what is not.
You who know Jelaluddin,

You the one in all, say who I am.
