  1. Thank You very much for the information!
    Can You tell me the source (the name of the book),
    where this poem is from:

    Rumi-Dancing Atoms

    Arise oh day! The atoms are dancing!
    For him the spheres and wind are dancing
    Souls ecstatic with joy are dancing
    I’ll whisper in your ear where they are dancing
    Each atom in the wind or desert
    Is good-natured, like this, we are enchanted
    Each atom, whether happy or sad
    Is bewildered by the sun, happy without reason

    Original:

    ای روز برا که ذره ها رقص کنند
    آن کس که از او چرخ و هوا رقص کنند
    جانها ز خوشی بی سر و پا رقص کنند
    در گوش تو گویم که کجا رقص کنند
    هر ذره که در هوا یا در هامون است
    نیکو نگرش که همچو ما مفتون است
    هر ذره اگر خوش است اگر محذون است
    سرگشته خورشید خوش بی چون است

  2. Wisdom of the ancients soaked in the purity of spiritual bliss and a consuming love.
    Science would agree that each particle in nature is in movement and a “dance” programmed to its own existence.

  3. Hello, thanks for the reference. However I was unable to spot the rubai in the Divan-e Shams (which is also called Divan-i Kebir). Could you specifically mention a publication name? Thank you!
