A Hundred Blessings
Rumi
[Verse 1]
When love comes suddenly and taps
On your window
Run and let it in
But first
Shut the door of your reason
Even the smallest hint
Chases love away
Like smoke that drowns
The freshness of
The morning breeze
[Verse 2]
To reason
Love can only say
This way is barred
You can’t pass through
But, to the lover
It offers a hundred blessings
Before the mind decides
To take a step
[Chorus]
Love has reached
The seventh heaven
Love has climbed the holy mountain
Love has reached
The seventh heaven
Love has climbed the holy mountain
[Verse 3]
I must stop this talk now
And let love speak
From its nest of silence
