Come, Come, Whoever you are
Our is not a caravan of despair
Come, Come, Whoever you are
This caravan has no despair.
Even though you have broken your vow
perhaps ten thousand times
Yet come again, come again, whoever you are
whoever you are, come
Wander, worshipper, lover of leaving, come
Wander, worshipper, lover of leaving, come

Jelaleddin Rumi
