Every week, my Iranian friends and I like to translate the Persian verses of Rumi together. Here’s a short selection from what we’ve been translating and contemplating this week:

Wake up, oh my heart! The world is passing by;
Life froths and flows by, free for the asking.
In the house of the heart, don’t sit oblivious and stupid,
As the caravan passes through the house of life…

— Rumi
