✨ Translation and Interpretation of the Poem:
"I am you, you are me, O friend, do not go from beside yourself
Do not regard yourself as other, and do not drive away from your own door"
This opening couplet establishes the central theme of the poem: the unity of the self and the other, the lover and the beloved. Rumi implores us to recognize that we are all interconnected and that the divine presence we seek is within us.

"Do not lose your head and foot from your endless temptation
So that like a bewildered one, I may strike the foot of cruelty upon my own head"
Here, Rumi warns against the dangers of worldly distractions and the ego's temptations. He suggests that when we lose our way, we inflict suffering upon ourselves, like a confused person who harms themselves.

"The one who like a shadow is not separate from your person, that is me
Do not pull, O friend, your own dagger upon your own shadow"
The "shadow" symbolizes the inseparable companion, the divine presence that is always with us. To harm the shadow is to harm oneself. This is a powerful metaphor for self-love and acceptance.

"O tree that has thousands of shadows in every direction
Caress the shadows and do not cut away from your own essence"
The tree represents the self, and the shadows are its many manifestations. Rumi encourages us to embrace all aspects of our being and to remain connected to our true essence, our spiritual core.

"Hide all the shadows and make them vanish in the light
Unveil the countenance of your sun-faced luminous self"
This is a call to spiritual enlightenment. The "shadows" of the ego and ignorance must be dissolved in the "light" of divine knowledge, allowing our true, radiant self to shine forth.

"The realm of the heart has become disordered from your two-heartedness
Rise upon the throne, do not withdraw your foot from your own pulpit"
"Two-heartedness" or indecisiveness creates chaos in the "realm of the heart." Rumi urges us to be firm in our spiritual convictions and to take our rightful place as the ruler of our own inner kingdom.

"Reason is a crown, thus Ali spoke in representation
Give the crown a new jewel, you from your own jewel"
The final couplet, referencing Ali, the fourth Caliph of Islam, emphasizes the importance of reason and wisdom. The "jewel" is the divine wisdom that comes from within, which can adorn the "crown" of reason and lead to true understanding.
