Why Aren't You Looking?

 If you don't have someone you love,

why aren't you looking?


And if you've found someone to love,

why aren't you dancing for joy?


And if your companion doesn't suit you,

why don't you become them?


And if the lute won't cry out,

why aren't you teaching it the proper way?

                            ---Jalal ad-Din Rumi, translated by Michael Chagnon
