Learning steps


Being far apart of you, what should I learn?
Being united again at last, why should I learn?
If you be with me, miracles I learn,
and if you don't, I won't.

Do not leave if I am not an intellect,
teach them me, I am not a perfect.
Since the time is passed with you everywhere,
I will learn by time anyway.
Ferro pieces I become around a magnet fraction,
to learn the meaning of attraction.

Like a fish I make a shield of me,
to learn the deep floation in blue ocean.

Like the heart of mine I drink the red wine,
to learn the sense of true passion.

I don't know by what I learn how to faith,
someone said by faith itself.

An exercise of translation of Rumi poems from Shams collection.
