Samaa makes our hearts restless,
filled with the lightning of spring clouds.
O Venus of Pleasures, open your generous palm,
for hands are still and drums are silent.
"Samaa" is a Sufi term for ceremonies involving prayer, song, and dance. The rituals of the whirling dervishes are a kind of samaa most westerners have heard of.

Sorry I didn't see this till now. Blogspot stuck it into the "to be moderated" bin for some reason. Anyway, thank you for your kind words. All my Rumi translations can be found here: https://rontrans.blogspot.com/2018/09/translations-of-rumi-to-date.htm or actually just above this post that you commented on. I'd be pleased to hear anything you have to say about these poems, especially if you have some knowledge of Rumi or his language.
