Looking for Your FaceFrom the beginning of my life I have been looking for your facebut today I have seen it Today I have seenthe charm, the beauty, the unfathomable graceof the facethat I was looking for Today I have found youand those who laughedand scorned me yesterdayare sorry that they were not lookingas I did I am bewildered by the magnificenceof your beautyand wish to see youwith a hundred eyes My heart has burned with passionand has searched foreverfor this wondrous beautythat I now behold I am ashamedto call this love humanand afraid of Godto call it divine Your fragrant breathlike the morning breezehas come to the stillness of the garden You have breathed new life into me I have become your sunshineand also your shadow My soul is screaming in ecstasy Every fiber of my beingis in love with you Your effulgencehas lit a fire in my heartand you have made radiantfor methe earth and sky My arrow of lovehas arrived at the target I am in the house of mercyand my heartis a place of prayer .Jalaluddin Rumi
