My eyes? "I'll make a river flow there." So she said.

My heart? "It will bleed till it's full of blood," she said.

And my body? "Just wait a few days more,

I'll show the world your shame, and throw it out the door."

#1047, from Rumi's Kolliyaat-e Shams-e Tabrizi
Edited by Badiozzaman Forouzanfar (Tehran, Amir Kabir, 1988).
