Incantation Lyrics

[ Sung in Persian: ]

Anlat bana, Ey Ilham,
ouzaklara ve genis topraklara
yolu dusenleri

"Tell me, o Muse of those
who traveled far and wide"

----------------------------------
Song inspired by a Sufi poem:

O brother, Wisdom is pouring into you
From the beloved saint of God.Loreena Mckennitt - Incantation - http://motolyrics.com/loreena-mckennitt/incantation-lyrics.html
You've only borrowed it.
Although the house of your heart
Is lit from the inside.

That light is lent by a luminous neighbor
Give thanks; don't be arrogant or vain
Pay attention to self-importance.
It's sad that this borrowed state
Has put religious communities
Far from religious communion.

-- by Rumi (Mathnawi I, 3255-3258)
