The Essential Rumi
by Rumi
I Am and I Am Not
I’m drenched
in the flood
which has yet to come
I’m *******
in the prison
which has yet to exist
Not having played
the game of chess
I’m already the checkmate
Not having tasted
a single cup of your wine
I’m already drunk
Not having entered
the battlefield
I’m already wounded and slain
I no longer
know the difference
between image and reality
Like the shadow
I am
And
I am not
