Rumi	Write for The Iranian Editorial policy

My heart boils up, aspiring to your heat;

Closes its eyes to grope what you see clear;

Drinks poison to be worthy to drink you;

Forges itself as a ring to grace your ear.

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