Dervish / Darvesh: Book 1 of Rumi's Masnavi

        Water that's poured inside will sink the boat

            While water underneath keeps it afloat.

        Driving wealth from his heart to keep it pure

            King Solomon preferred the title 'Poor':

        That sealed jar in the stormy sea out there

            Floats on the waves because it's full of air,

        When you've the air of dervishood inside

            You'll float above the world and there abide...
