It is said in the Ruba'iyat:
Oh daylight, rise! atoms are dancing
The souls, lost in ecstasy, are dancing
To your ear, I will tell you where the dance will take you.
All the atoms in the air and in the desert,
Let is be known, are like madmen.
Each atom, happy or miserable,
Is in love with the Sun of which we can say nothing. (Vitray-Meyerovitch 43)
It is from this that Rumi is said to have performed the cosmic dance. He said, "There are many roads which lead to God. I have chosen the one of dance and music" (Vitray-Meyerovitch 43).

A girl with a bird she found in the snow
Then flew up her gown and that's how she knows
That God made her eyes for crying at birth
Then left the ground to circle the Earth

We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look
Behind from where we came

We're captive on the carousel of time
And go round and round and round
In the circle game
So the years spin by

Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it's so white as snow
Privately divided by a world so undecided
And there's nowhere to go
In between the cover of another perfect wonder
And it's so white as snow
Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed
And there's nowhere to go
When to descend to amend for a friend
All the channels that have broken down
Now you bring it up, I'm gonna ring it up
Just to hear you sing it out
Step from the road to the sea to the sky
And I do believe what we rely on
When I lay it on, come get to play it on
All my life to sacrifice

Revolve within, you understand
Fragile earth where cracks in the temperature
Keep it cool to give, you understand
Mm, suit yourself this wasn't easy
Oh, I just can't find the strength to pull you up and keep you taut
.....................Where's the times and where's the places?
That is what I'd like to know
For they gloried in their graces
When they vanished like the snow
Oh daylight, rise! atoms are dancing
The souls, lost in ecstasy, are dancing
To your ear, I will tell you where the dance will take you.
