来，与我共舞

“主，我与你同在”，意味着

当你开始寻找真主时

真主就在你的双眸中

在你寻求它的意念里

它比你自己要接近于你

也比任何发生在你身上事物，更接近于你

因此，你已无需另寻他处

——鲁米

Lo, I am with you always means

when you look for God,

God is in the look of your eyes,

in the thought of looking,

nearer to you than your self,

or things that have happened to you.

there is no need to go outside

by Rumi

不是在基督教堂，

不是在犹太圣殿，

也不是在清真寺里。

徜使你举目四望，

会发现

万物之中皆有神在。

那些生前看不见真主的人

死后也无法见到

一旦你窥见真主

它将永远与你同在

——舍姆斯(鲁米的挚友)

If you look around,

you can find a face of God in each thing, because he is not hidden in a church, in a mosque, in a synagogue,

but everywhere.

As there is no one who lives after seeing him, there is also no one dying after seeing.

Who finds him,

stays forever with him.

by Shams Tabrizi

最后, 我想送上哈菲兹的一首诗，《一个只知道四个字的神》:

每个孩子都认识神

它不是名义上的神

也不是束缚我们的神

而是一个知道四个字的神

它重复地说着: “与我共舞”

来，与我共舞

every child has known God

not the God of name

not the God of donts

but the God who only knows four words

and keep repeating them.

saying, 'come, dance with me.'

come dance with me.

by Hafiz
