I like them both cos' the first one reminds us how kalau kita asyik sgt dgn tipu daya dunia (khayal...lullabies, story tellings...semua ni kan mengasyikkan?) kita akan hanyut dan jahanam.Very sufi.
The second pun.Balik ke alam fana'.I think the original Rumi written in Arabic would have been much more mesmerising than the English translations.I dreamt of learning Arabic last nite!
Oh , now I must find Rumi's poems. Do yu think we can find it in Malaysia? If you notice, lately I've been into poems again, both in Malay and English.
Malaysia ni susah sikit.We are still stuck with TS Eliot and the English Romantics.Penyair tempatan pun kita tak tau!
If I find a pocket Rumi, nanti I beli and mail it out from home, InsyaAllah.They have this Everyman's Library pocket poet books...I found Rumi amidst them.Kecik je bukunya.
I think I tersilap abt Rumi's original language was Arabic.I think he wrote in Persian.Cuba google sendiri and find out?
Ithaca is still in the minuses (Celcius)Otak I beku tak boleh write anything inspiring of Ithaca.Winter dia long and hostile. I was told that Tagore pernah dtg ke sini.

Beautiful! You've been tagged. Please read my posting on 'Keganjilan'. Just for fun!
Thanks, Shima kerana menge-tag saya.Lepas tu kena buat apa?
Ini puisi Rumi utk Shima:
Anywhere you find a lullaby
Leave;safety's final danger.
When you come across a story-teller --
Know a house is being destroyed.
Atau terjemahan yang ini:
Live in the nowhere that you came from,
even though you have an address here.
Dr Faridah,
I like the last 2 lines.
About the tagging thing, it means now you have to write 6 weird things about you and then ask another 6 bloggers to do the same.

That would be great! I'm really glad if you could. Thanks!
Btw,if you read my poem 'Champion of the Season', I actually had the image of winter identical to the picture that you post here, in my mind.
