Imago Dei, a Poem by Rumi









I asked my heart:
"Why do we need a mirror for?"
"So you can see the reflections of body image in it.
You only paint over the metal frame of an external mirror,
but your inner mirror
is the pure reflection of your divine soul.
The mirror of your soul
won't reflect the image of the Beloved,
until your face has fully acquired
the divine reflections of God."
Rumi


گزيده ابياتي از ديوان كبيرحضرت مولانا

گفتم اي دل آينه ازبهرچيست
تاببيند هركسي كوشكل كيست
آينه آهن براي لون هاست
آينه سيماي جان سنگين بهاست
آينه جان نيست الا روي يار
روي آن ياري كه باشد زآن يار
