about

This Rumi poem has the most obviously religious message, but it doesn't matter which, if any, religion you believe – it's a bit like trusting your own moral compass.

lyrics

Seek to replace the lead of your eyes
With a living ear which learns to die.
For sacred words too fine to pierce frost
Of blind hearts, dwell in hearts with light embossed.

The devil insinuates the hearts which just lie
As crooked feet only crooked shoes try.

Intone sacred words and ancient sounds
With mechanical tick of a clock expound
For a fool words will fall on barren ground
Even if you mint them on the willing page,
Even if you speak them slowly like the sage.

Oh sinner!
The devil may just take you on your word,
But wisdom’s too wise – by you it’s not heard.
