We are drunk on the essence without even tasting
the wine,
Filled with light in the morning, and joyful
into the night.
They say our path leads nowhere--that's alright:
There's joy enough right here to fill all
time.
#1319: From Rumi's
Kolliyaat-e
Shams-e Tabrizi
Edited by Badiozzaman Forouzanfar (Tehran, Amir Kabir, 1988).
