Analysis of In love
Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi 1207 (Balkh) – 1273 (Konya )
In love, aside from sipping the wine of timelessness,
nothing else exists.
There is no reason for living except for giving one's life.
I said, 'First I know you, then I die.'
He said, 'For the one who knows Me, there is no dying.'
