Here you will find the Poem I will beguile him with the tongue of poet Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi

I will beguile him with the tongue

Reason says, ? I will beguile him with the tongue.?; Love says, 
?Be silent. I will beguile him with the soul.? 
The soul says to the heart, ?Go, do not laugh at me and yourself. 
What is there that is not his, that I may beguile him 
thereby?? 
He is not sorrowful and anxious and seeking oblivion that I 
may beguile him with wine and a heavy measure. 
The arrow of his glance needs not a bow that I should beguile 
the shaft of his gaze with a bow. 
He is not prisoner of the world, fettered to this world of earth, 
that I should beguile him with gold of the kingdom of the world. 
He is an angel, though in form he is a man; he is not lustful 
that I should beguile him with women. 
Angels start away from the house wherein this form is, so how 
should I beguile him with such a form and likeness? 
He does not take a flock of horses, since he flies on wings; his 
food is light, so how should I beguile him with bread? 
He is not a merchant and trafficker in the market of the world 
that I should beguile him with enchantment of grain and loss. 
He is not veiled that I should make myself out sick and utter 
sighs, to beguile him with lamentation. 
I will bind my head and bow my head, for I have got out of 
hand; I will not beguile his compassion with sickness or fluttering. 
Hair by hair he sees my crookedness and feigning; what?s 
hidden from him that I should beguile him with anything hidden. 
He is not a seeker of fame, a prince addicted to poets, that I 
should beguile him with verses and lyrics and flowing poetry. 
The glory of the unseen form is too great for me to beguile it 
with blessing or Paradise. 
Shams-e Tabriz, who is his chosen and beloved?perchance I 
will beguile him with this same pole of the age.
