A lover asked his beloved,Do you love yourself
more than you love me?
The beloved replied,
I have died to myself
and I live for you.
I’ve disappeared from myself
and my attributes.
I am present only for you.
I have forgotten all my learning,
but from knowing you
I have become a scholar.
I have lost all my strength,
but from your power
I am able.
If I love myself
I love you.
If I love you
I love myself.

It is not by Rumi
its actually song by Deepak Chopra and Demi Moore from Sex Lounge CD1 - said to be inspired by Rumi
the lyrics are actually missing first part I deliberately left it out as didnt like it
:) no this one is from Rumi - that is the bit that inspired Chopra and Moore to create their poem
