Rumi: As a stone which is changed into a pure ruby Is filled with the bright light of the sun, In that stone its own propertie

As a stone which is changed into a pure ruby Is filled with the bright light of the sun, In that stone its own properties abide not It is filled with the sun’s properties altogether.
