Fire
This Rumi poem turns to the a woman dancing in the fire:
ز آتش ار علمت یقین شد از سخن
پختگی جو در یقین منزل مکن
تا نسوزی نیست آن عین الیقین
این یقین خواهی در آتش در نشین
***
Wisdom says that only in fire
you will find the beloved
Do not make a home in the certainty of these words
Instead, leap into the fire
Until you are burnt in the fire,
you haven’t been anointed by the beloved
Words will only point to more words
Forget words! Make yourself a home in the fire
