Mawlana Jalaluddin Rumi, the 13th-century mystic poet, was truly one of the most passionate and profound poets in history. Now, today his presence still remains strong, due in part to how his words seem to drip of the divine, and startle a profound remembrance that links all back to the Soul-Essence.

O seeker,
Listen to your heart’s true yearning—
Don’t sleep!
Give up one night of your life to the vigil—
Don’t sleep!

You have spent a thousand nights
in the cradle of sleep—
I ask for one night.
For the sake of the Friend,
Don’t sleep!
The Loving Witness never sleeps by night,
Follow His ways:
Give yourself to Him—
Don’t sleep!

Beware of that woeful night,
When you cry out in agony: “O God”—
Don’t sleep!
That night when Death comes to welcome you—
By the dread of that night, O weary one,
Don’t sleep!
Even stones will cry when bound
by the weight of those chains.
You are not a stone.
Remember those chains—
Don’t sleep!

Though the night tempts you like a beautiful maiden,
do not drink from her cup.
Fear the morning after— Don’t sleep!
God says, “My dear ones will stay up with me at night.”
If you hear these words,
Don’t sleep!

Fear that horrible night
when no refuge can be found.
Store up your provisions tonight! Beware!
Don’t sleep!

The Saints find their treasure
when the world is asleep;
For the sake of ever-giving love,
Don’t sleep!

When your spirit is old and worn
He will give you a new one,
Then you will become the pure spirit of all.
O hopeful one, don’t sleep!

I have told you again and again—
go to that inner silence!
But still, you do not hear me.
Give me one night
And I will give you a thousand in return—
Don’t sleep!
