Rumi's Ghazal #.838

Mevlana (moulana) Jalalluddin Rumi's sufi verses:

Ghazal #.838

if you pass your night ; and merge it with dawn for the sake of heart
what do you think will happen

if the entire world ; is covered with the blossoms you have labored to plant
what do you think will happen

if the elixir of life ; that has been hidden in the dark fills the desert and towns
what do you think will happen

if because of ; your generosity and love a few humans find their lives
what do you think will happen

if you pour an entire jar ; filled with joyous wine on the head of those already drunk
what do you think will happen

go my friend ; bestow your love even on your enemies
if you touch their hearts
what do you think will happen
