A poem to my beloved wife

I love u...

A lover asked his beloved,
Do you love yourself more than you love me?

Beloved replied,

I have died to myself
and I live for you.

I've disappeared from myself
and my attributes,

I am present only for you.

I've forgotten all my learnings,

but from knowing you I've become a scholar.

I've lost all my strength, but from your power I am able.

I love myself...I love you.

I love you...I love myself.

By Rumi
