Rumi	Write for The Iranian Editorial policy

Night falls; but me, I can't tell night from day.

My nights are days lit by her face as bright as day.

O night-it's waiting still for word of her that makes you night.

O day-study her face to learn what makes day light.

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