I am a bird of God’s garden
and I do not belong to this dusty world
For a day or two they have put me here
in this cage of my own body
I did not come here of my own
I will not return of my own
to my own country..
A Bird In God’s Garden – Rumi / Archuletta
Assalam’alaikum
Can we get the arabic translation of those verses ?
PS: Wonderful blog !
The full (song) lyrics are, the translation from the Rumi poem:
I am a bird of Gods Garden
I do not belong to this world
I am a bird of Gods Garden
I do not belong to this dusty world
For a day or two I have been locked up
in this cage of my own body
I did not come here of my own
How can I return of my own
He who brought me here can take me back again
He who brought me here will take me back again
to my own country
Richard Thompson, the English folk artist who is also a Musilim, has set this lyric to stunningly beautiful music. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6VG0vWQpJ0
