Here’s your Daily Poem from the Poetry Chaikhana —

 

Today I’m out wandering, turning my skull

By Mevlana Jelaluddin Rumi
(1207 – 1273)

English version by Coleman Barks

 

Today I’m out wandering, turning my skull
into a cup for others to drink wine from.
In this town somewhere there sits a calm, intelligent man,
who doesn’t know what he’s about to do!

 

 — from Open Secret: Versions of Rumi, Translated by Coleman Barks / Translated by John Moyne
