Poem by Rumi

我已在這世界死去久矣。
每天我的身體續漸虛弱，
它快要囬歸到泥土去。
生命的終結或離棄這世界
不困難，
但放棄你的愛，
那是困難的---
不，絕不可能。

(Original in Arabic)

(English translated by Johnathan Star)

I've been dead to this world for a long time.
Every day my body grows weaker
and soon it will return to the earth.
It is not difficult to renounce this life
or this world,
But to give up your love,
that's is difficult ------
no, impossible.
