Wedding Poems

May the blessings which flow in all weddings
be gathered, God, together in our wedding!
The blessings of the Night of Power,

the month of fasting
the festival to break the fast

the blessings of the meeting of Adam and Eve
the blessings of the meeting of Joseph and Jacob
the blessings of gazing on the paradise of all abodes
and yet another blessing which cannot be put in words:

the fruitful scattering of joy
of the children of the Shayak
and our eldest!

In companionship and happiness
may you be like milk and honey
in union and fidelity,
just like sugar and halva.
May the blessings of those who toast

and the one who pours the wine
anoint the ones who said Amen and
the one who said the prayer.

Translation by Franklin D. Lewis "Rumi -- Past and Present, East and
West" Oneworld Publications, Oxford, 2000

May these vows and this marriage be blessed.
May it be sweet milk,
this marriage, like wine and halvah.
May this marriage offer fruit and shade
like the date palm.
May this marriage be full of laughter,
our every day a day in paradise.
May this marriage be a sign of compassion,
a seal of happiness here and hereafter.
May this marriage have a fair face and a good name,
an omen as welcome
as the moon in a clear blue sky.
I am out of words to describe
how spirit mingles in this marriage.

Kabir Helminski "Love is a Stranger" Threshold Books, 1993
