Rumi's Letter

作词 : Nadim Naaman

作曲 : Dana Al Fardan/Nadim Naaman/Dana Al Fardan and Nadim Naaman

“What drove you from us Shams?

Whose words, which curse?

You are all I have

My heart, my hope

Without you I am nothing

I gave my soul to you

Return to us or send us word

Don’t abandon those who need you.”

Before we met I searched

For truth in books

Devouring every page

Of the time it took

Yet you reveal more meaning

Than all the books combined

The purest understanding

Your words invade my mind

Thirty years we waited

For the day that you arrived

I found you late and now you’re gone

Don’t leave us now deprived

As thirsty as the desert sands

Awaiting April rain

Now, my rose, for the love of God

Don’t make us wait again

When we are together

We talk throughout the night

The peace of sleep deserts me

Two minds so intertwined

Thirty years we waited

For the day that you arrived

I found you late and now you’re gone

Don’t leave us now deprived

As thirsty as the desert sands

Awaiting April rain

Now, my rose, for the love of God

Don’t make us wait again

What drove you from us Shams?

Whose words, which curse?

You are all I have

My heart, my hope

When we are together

We talk throughout the night

The peace of sleep deserts me

Two minds so intertwined
