Your Death Is Your Rebirth, a Poem by Rumi







O birds who've broken free from your cages,
show us your best smiles and enlighten us:
Towards whom are you all flying to?

O ready to deliver love-pregnant lovers,
now that you're ready to give birth 
to a new life on your deathbeds,
keep on giving birth over and over again.
Your death is your second coming. 
Your death is your rebirth.
Rumi ~ my translation


 مرغان که کنون از قفس خویش جدایید
رخ باز نمایید و بگویید کجایید
ای آنک بزادیت چو در مرگ رسیدید
این زادن ثانیست بزایید بزایید
 مولانا جلال الدين بلخي رومي
