The Masnavi, by Rumi, translated by E.H. Whinfield, 1898
At the barking and howling of the dogs
No caravan ever turned back in its road

Ours is not a caravan of despair: By Rumi
Wonderer, worshipper, lover of leaving.
It doesn’t matter.
Ours is not a caravan of despair.
Come, even if you have broken your vow a thousand times
Come, yet again, come, come.

The Caravan: By Clare Pollard
We were alive that evening, on the north Yorkshire moors,
in a valley of scuffed hills and smouldering gorse.
Pheasants strutted, their feathers as richly patterned
as Moroccan rugs, past the old Roma caravan –
candles, a rose-cushioned bed, etched glass –
that I'd hired to imagine us gipsies
as our bacon and bean stew bubbled,
as you built a fire, moustached, shirt-sleeves rolled.

Caravan: By van Morrison
And the caravan is on it's way
I can hear the merry gypsies play
Mama mama look at Emma Rose
She's a-playin with the radio
La, la, la, la...
And the caravan has all my friends
It will stay with me until the end
Gypsy Robin, Sweet Emma Rose
Tell me everything I need to know
La, la, la...

گلچینی از سروده ها و ترانه های کاروان
باشیم همچو کودک و بالغ به یک زمان/ فریاد خود به اوج فلک بر رسانده ایم
دارنده ی تمدن و فرهنگ باستان/ اما ز کاروان جهان باز مانده ایم
در لوحه‌ای که مانده ز کوروش به یادگار/ منشوری از حقوق بشر بر نبشته ایم
با بس مهاجمان شده ایم ما به کارزار/ اما اسیر و بنده ی آنان نگشته ایم
ما مظهری ز درد و بلای زمانه ایم/ در گیر بس حوادث سخت و ندیده ایم
آزرده ایم از ین شب تاریک و پر ز بیم/ در آرزوی صبح پگاه و سپیده ایم
دکتر منوچهر سعادت نوری
