Poem of the Atoms
Written by Jalaluddin Rumi
Each atom in the wind or desert,
is good-natured, for like us, they are enchanted
Each atom, whether happy or miserable
Is bewildered by the sun,
of which nothing can be said
Arise oh day! The atoms are dancing!
Thanks to Him, the spheres and the skies are dancing
The souls are dancing, overcome with ecstasy
I'll whisper in your ear where their dance is taking them
Each atom in the wind or desert,
is good-natured, for like us, they are enchanted
Each atom, whether happy or miserable
Is bewildered by the sun,
of which nothing can be said
