Roshanak Aminelahi

O' day arise! The atoms are dancing

For him the spheres and the wind are dancing

Our souls ecstatic with joy, are dancing

I’ll whisper in your ear where they are dancing

Each atom in the wind or in the desert

Is good-natured, like us, it is enchanted

Each atom, whether joyful or miserable

Is bewildered by the sun, blessed with no reason

Rumi
