"The Beautiful attracts the beautiful"


The Beautiful attracts the beautiful.
Know this for sure.
Recite the text, "The good women for the good men."
In this world everything attracts something.
Those of the Fire attract those of the Fire;
those of the Light attract those of the Light.

Khub khubi-râ konad jazb in be-dân
"Tayyibât lil-tayyibin" bar vay be-khvân
Dar jahân har chiz chizi jazb kard
garm garmi-râ kashid va sard sard

-- Mathnawi II:80-82
Version by Camille and Kabir Helminski
