I'm neither beautiful nor ugly
neither this nor that
I'm neither the peddler in the market
nor the nightingale
in the rose garden
Teacher give me a name so that I'll know
what to call myself
I'm neither slave nor free neither candle
nor iron
I've not fallen in love with anyone
nor is anyone in love with me
Whether I'm sinful or good
sin and goodness come from another
not from me
Wherever He drags me I go
with no say in the matter
By Jelaluddin Rumi
(1207 - 1273)
