Before Life

Before Life

By Rumi

Music:Juan Sanchez - Luz de Luna

I wasn't like this before. 
I wasn't out of my mind and senses. 
Once I used to be wise like you, 
Not crazy, insane and broken down Like I am now. 

I wasn't the admirer of life 

Which has no trace, no being. 
I used to ask, "Who is this? What is that?." 
And search all the time. 

Since you have wisdom, 
Sit and think 
That probably I was like this before. 

I haven't changed much. 
I used to try to make 

Myself better than everybody. 
I hadn't been hunted 

With the ever-growing Love before. 
I tried to rise above the sky 

With my ambition 
Yet I didn't know I was just wandering in the desert. 
At the end, I have raised 

A treasure from the ground.
