اسلاید 18: Sunday, Dec 17, 1273 AD (672 H)Last poem:Rumi’s deathGo lay (your) head on the pillow (and sleep). Leave me(to be) alone; leave me (to be) ruined, night-wandering, and afflicted.I am alone with a wave of passion, from night until day. If you wish, come with mercy; if you wish, go (and) be harsh.Escape from me, so that you may not also fall into affliction!Choose the path of safety (and) shun the path of affliction.With the tears of (my) eyes, I have crawled into the cornerof sorrow. Grind the mill hundreds of times upon the tears of my eyes.For me there is an oppressor who has a heart like a hard rock. He kills, (and) nobody tells him to arrange payment of the blood-price!For the king of the beautiful-faced ones, loyalty is notnecessary. (But) you be patient and faithful, O sallow-faced lover!It is a pain for which there sis no remedy except to die. So how can I ask that this pain be cured?Last night I dreamed of an elder in the lane of Love: he gestured to me with (his) hand, (meaning) Make (your) aim (to come) to me.If there is a dragon on the road, Love is like an emerald(which will blind it); drive away the dragon with the (green) flash of this emerald!Stop, since I am losing myself! If you are (a man) of abundant knowledge, recite the History of so-and-so3 (and) admonish so and so!
