Going To Mecca -by Rumi [Persian Poet]

O pilgrim who visit the Holy Land
I’ll show you heaven in a grain of sand
Why traverse deserts, why confront the storm

If within you resides the formless form
Of the Beloved? If he’s in your heart
Your pilgrimage has ended where you start.

So, from that garden did you bring a rose?
You saw the house of God, now just suppose

Arriving at a house unoccupied
Will leave the pilgrims’ thirst unsatisfied

Remember Hajji wherever you roam
His love will have to make your heart his home.
