Hello everyone,

I have a poem that I translated from Persian to English. This is a poem from Maulavi Jalaludin Rumi.

The poem is about Art and Artists. We are organizing a painting gallery and we would like to use this poem in our banner for the gallery.

I want to ask the English Gurus for a favor to make these sentences sound nice in English. Here is the translation and general meaning of the poem:

No painter makes painting for selling, but for the art of drawing
No potter makes pots for water, but for the art of pottery
No bowl maker makes bowls for serving food, but for the art of bowl making
No calligrapher writes for reading, but for the art of calligraphy

If anyone recognizes this poem and has come across the proper translation please point me to it, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

I'd like to be a writer but I know discipline is a big factor and I often just don't feel like doing it, or have no ideas. What do you do to keep up discipline and write regularly?

when i come to the end of the road,and the sun has set for me
i want no rites in a gloom filled room
why cry for a soul set free
miss me a little but not for long,and not with your head bowed low
remember the love we once shared
miss me but let me go
for this is a journey we all must take
and each must go alone
its all a part of the master plan
a step on the road to home
when you are lonely and sick of heart
go to the friends we know
and bury your sorrows in doing good deeds
miss me but let me go
