I Was Snow

“I was snow
and melted away,
so that earth drank me up.
Till I became one mist of soul
and mounted to the sky.

Love is.
a fierce- sparkling fire,
the Lover shineth
among his fellows as in heaven,
The brilliant moon among
the host of stars.

The soul is a flashing mirror,
wherein God reveals His Beauty
in the hour of separation it becomes
a glowing furnace.”

– Shams -e- Tabrizi
