Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi Mevlana

Konya, Turkey

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

When you see my hearse, don’t cry, "He’s gone, gone!"
Remember, union and encounter are mine in that hour.

When you commit me to the grave, don’t say: "Goodbye,
goodbye."
The grave is a curtain concealing the community of
Paradise.

After looking upon descent, consider resurrection;
To the sun and moon, is setting a calamity?

To you death is a setting; in truth it’s a rising.
Though the grave seems like a prison, it comes as the
soul’s release.

Shut your mouth on this side of death, open in beyond.
Your song will be triumphant in nowhere’s air.

from James Cowan's translation in
Rumi’s Divan of Shems of Tabriz, Selected Odes
Element Books Limited 1997

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The Columbus Sufi Circle invites all to j
the celebration of the death day of Mevlana,
his Union with the Beloved.
There will be singing, dancing, poetry, desserts.
Music from Voice of Anatolia and Seventh House Moon
If you’d like; bring a Rumi poem to share, a dessert.

And come dressed for dancing!

Halloween Hanged Man Zikr, Saturday, October 31, 2016 7:30 pm Zawiyya al Mu'min Turn yourself upside down

^ ^ ^ ^ ^

wake up, wake up
this night is gone
wake up

abandon abandon
even your dear self
abandon

there is an idiot
in our market place
selling a precious soul

if you doubt my word
get up this moment
and head for the market now

don’t listen to trickery
don’t listen to the witches
don’t wash blood with blood

first turn yourself upside down
empty yourself like a cup of wine
then fill to the brim with the essence

a voice is descending
from the heavens
a healer is coming

if you desire healing
let yourself fall ill
let yourself fall ill

-- Ghazal (Ode) 2133
Translated by Nader Khalili
"Rumi, Fountain of Fire"
Burning Gate Press, Los Angeles, 1994

^ ^ ^ 

Please join the Columbus Sufi Circle,

Empty yourself like a cup and fill with the essence

Come costumed or not, emulate the Hanged Man,

 his self falling from his pockets

 Zikr, Chanting, Singing, Poetry, Sweets and Sohbet
