Performed by Shahram Nazeri Artwork by Edmund Dulac The Mevlana Rumi wrote: “Little by little, drunk people are gathering: those in love, people who want to drink more and more glasses of knowledge, the knowledge of God. Little by little, their souls grow up, and they become alive. Little by little, the spiritual life rises from the physical one.“ Little by little, the group of the lovedrunk arrive Little by little, the worshipers of wine arrive They are on their way; Comforting and gentle Like flowers from the flowerfield they arrive Little by little, from this world of Being and non-Being The non-existent leave and the existent arrive They come with hands and clothes full of gold For the poor and hungry they arrive The gaunt, exhausted from the trials of Love Strong and healthy they arrive Like the rays of the Sun , the lives of the Pure From those heights to the lowly valley they arrive Green and fresh the garden for the pure With new fruits from the love drunk they arrive Their essence is grace and grace they unfold and expand From the garden towards the garden they arrive اندک اندک جمع مستان می رسنـــد اندک اندک می پرستان می رسنـــد دلنوازان ناز نازان در ره اند گلعذاران از گلستان می رسنـــد اندک اندک زين جهان هست و نيست نيستان رفتند و هستان می رسنـــد جمله دامنهای پر زر همچو کان از برای تنگ دستان می رسنـــد لاغران خسته از مرعای عشــق فربهان و تندرستان می رسنـــد جان پاکان چون شعاع آفتــاب از چنان بالا بپستان می رسنـــد خرم آن باغی که بهر مريــمان ميوه های نو ز مستانمی رسنـــد اصلشان لطفست و هم واگشت لطف هم ز بستان سوی بستان می رسنـــد
