Every religion has Love but Love has no religion

Why paint night over nightless day?

Every religion has Love
but Love has no religion.

Love is an ocean–
no borders, no shores.

Drown there and you won’t lament it.
The drowned have no regrets.

by Rumi from Gold, a new translation by Haleh Liza Gafori
