Heard this poem by Rumi quoted on NPR today (not sure if I got it right.
Please send me corrections if you know them):


I want to sing like the birds sing:

Not worrying about the singer

or who is listening.

The USA version is found in Country Western music as
"Sing like like you don't need the money,
Dance like nobody's watching,
Love like you'll never get hurt"
