Rumi’s Poem of Boundless Love, 

"Call Me By No Name"

"This musical adaptation of Rumi’s poem “Call Me By No Name” explores the mystic’s timeless cry beyond labels, beyond nations, beyond religions. Rumi reminds us that the soul cannot be confined to identity, creed, or form - because it belongs to the Beloved alone. Rumi declares: “Not Christian, not Jew, not Zoroastrian, not from East or West, not of earth, air, water, or fire.” In these verses, he dissolves every boundary. He is not bound to geography, culture, or body. Instead, he rests in the “placeless place” of Divine Love. The chorus - “I am not this, I am not that… nothing remains but Love” - is the essence of Sufism: the merging of all opposites into the One. The poem is not denial, but arrival: shedding illusions until only Love remains. The final lines - “So drunk with You in all I see, no cure but this sweet flame” - show the ecstasy of union with the Divine, where words and names fade, and only the burning heart of love sings. Let this song carry you beyond identity into Rumi’s vision of boundless love."
