Rumi	Write for The Iranian Editorial policy

The day my soul sets out on heaven's path,

My body's stuff will scatter in the dust.

Let your hand write 'Rise!' upon that earth,

I'll rise, and life to body yet again entrust.

#479, from Rumi's Kolliyaat-e Shams-e Tabrizi
Edited by Badiozzaman Forouzanfar (Tehran, Amir Kabir, 1988).
