Soul, are you aware - Rumi

Soul, are you aware who loves you?
Heart, are you aware whose host are you?

O body! you seek all deceptive ways.
He chooses you, see, who seeks you!

***

Original in Persian:

Èy-jân khabarat hast ke jânân-e tô kîst?
V-èy del khabarat hast ke mehmân-e tô kîst?

Èy tan ke be-har hîleh rahî mîjô'îe,
Ôu mîkeshad-át bebîn ke jôyân-e tô kîst

~Rumi, Ruba’ie 184
