lamenting those who failed to rise to understand divine secrets

I became a strange person,
No one comprehends my state,
I chant and I alone listen to myself,
No one understands my language.

My language is the language of birds,
My homeland is the country of the beloved,
I am a nightingale; my beloved is my rose,
To be sure, the colour of my rose never fades.

Rumi
