¿Quién Llama A Mi Puerta?, Poema De Rumi



¿Quién llama a mi puerta?

Poema de Rumi




¿Quién llama a mi puerta?
Preguntó, " ¿Quién llama a mi puerta?"
Respondí, "Tu humilde servidor".
Preguntó, "¿Qué asunto te trae por aquí?"
Respondí, "Vine a saludarte, oh Señor".

Preguntó, "¿Cuánto más viajarás?"
Respondí, "Hasta que me detengas".
Preguntó, "¿Hasta cuándo hervirás en el fuego?"
Respondí, " Hasta que puro quede".

"Este es mi juramento de amor.
Por amor,
renuncié a fortuna y posición".

Dijo,"Has defendido tu caso
Pero no tienes testigos".
Respondí, "Mis lágrimas son mis testigos;
la palidez de mis rostro es la prueba".'
Dijo, "Tu testigo no tiene credibilidad;
tus ojos están demasiado húmedos para ver".
Respondí, "Por el esplendor de tu justicia
mis ojos están limpios y libres de culpa".

Preguntó, "¿Qué buscas?"
Respondí, "Tenerte como mi constante amigo".
Preguntó, "¿Qué quieres de mí?"
respondí, "Tu abundante gracia".

Preguntó, "¿Quién fue tu acompañante en el viaje?"
Respondí, "El pensar en ti Oh, Rey".
Preguntó, "¿Qué te ha llamado aquí?"
Respondí, "La fragancia de tu vino".

Preguntó, "¿Qué te da la mayor satisfacción?"
Respondí, "La compañía del Emperador".
Preguntó, "¿Qué encuentras aquí?"
Respondí, "Cien milagros".
Preguntó, "¿Por qué está el palacio desierto?"
Respondí, "Todos temen al ladrón".
Preguntó, "¿Quién es el ladrón?"
Respondí, "El que me impide estar contigo".

Preguntó, "¿Dónde se puede estar a salvo?"
Respondí, "En el servicio y la renuncia".
Preguntó, "¿A qué hay que renunciar?"
Respondí, "A la esperanza de la salvación".

Preguntó, "¿Dónde hay calamidad?"
Respondí, "En la presencia de tu amor".
Preguntó, "¿Cómo te beneficias de esta vida?"
Respondí, "Manteniéndome verdadero conmigo mismo".

Ahora hay que guardar silencio.
Si te contara sobre Su verdadera esencia
¡saldrías volando de ti mismo para siempre,
y no habría puerta ni techo que te pudiese frenar!





Who is at my door?a poem by Rumi


He said, "Who is at my door?"
I said, "Your humble servant."
He said, "What business do you have?"
I said, "To greet you, 0 Lord."

He said, "How long will you journey on?"
I said, "Until you stop me."
He said, "How long will you boil in the fire?"
I said, "Until I am pure.

"This is my oath of love.
For the sake of love
I gave up wealth and position."

He said, "You have pleaded your case
but you have no witness."
I said, "My tears are my witness;
the pallor of my face is my proof.'
He said, "Your witness has no credibility;
your eyes are too wet to see."
I said, "By the splendor of your justice
my eyes are clear and faultless."

He said, "What do you seek?"
I said, "To have you as my constant friend."
He said, "What do you want from me?"
I said, "Your abundant grace."

He said, "Who was your companion on the 'ourney?
I said, "The thought of you, 0 King."
He said, "What called you here?"
I said, "The fragrance of your wine."

He said, "What brings you the most fulfillment?"
I said, "The company of the Emperor."
He said, "What do you find there?"
I said, "A hundred miracles."
He said, "Why is the palace deserted?"
I said, "They all fear the thief."
He said, "Who is the thief?"
I said, "The one who keeps me from -you.

He said, "Where is there safety?"
I said, "In service and renunciation."
He said, "What is there to renounce?"
I said, "The hope of salvation."

He said, "Where is there calamity?"
I said, "In the presence of your love."
He said, "How do you benefit from this life?"
I said, "By keeping true to myself

Now it is time for silence.
If I told you about His true essence
You would fly from your self and be gone,
and neither door nor roof could hold you back!
