[Sunlight] "Please God, offer honey to musicians"

~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Please God, offer honey to musicians
who bring us such joy!
Give them strong and untiring hands
to keep playing their music.
Give them vision so, like birds in love,
they can bring Your message to our ears.
Let them drink plenty from Your river and
grace them with Your strength
so their music becomes the pillar of Your glory.

-- Ghazal (Ode) 2342
Translated by Azima Melita Kolin
and Maryam Mafi
"Rumi: Hidden Music"
