Between a Lover and a Beloved

It is lovely
for there to be total informality
between a lover and a beloved

All these formalities
are for strangers

The only rule is this

Everything is forbidden
except for love

~ Rumi
From Radical Love: Teachings from
the Islamic Mystical Tradition
Translated and edited by Omid Safi
