You and I (A Ghazal of Rumi)

Joyous, blissful moment, sitting on the porch, you and I
two forms, two faces, yet one soul together, you and I

The groves' gift, the birds' songs give us the water of ever
lasting life, when we come to the garden together, you and I

The stars of the night sky witness us
we show them the moon together, you and I

You and I united as one in the ecstasy and delight
cast aside absurd stories and nonsense, you and I

The parrots of the sky eat sugar when we're
in the veranda, laughing together, you and I

How amazing we're here this moment in this corner
yet we're also together in Irâq and Khorâsân, you and I

We're in one form on the earth and in another in the
everlasting land of honey - the paradise, you and I
