I have a question for anyone willing to help

Hello, I'm new, nice to meet you all I'm sure.

I'm going to be getting a tattoo soon and I want to translate a short bit from a Rumi poem

"There is a voice that does not use words."

I did translate it over but I don't know enough Greek to make it a very poetic translation. My friend Maria tried to help, but she doesn't know much more than me and her mum said she would but she's a bit busy.

If someone could help me come up with a more poetic translation, I would much appreicate it, thanks.

An exact translation of the phrase you wrote is: Υπάρχει μια φωνή που δε χρησιμοποιεί λέξεις.

Definately it can be rephrased in a more poetic way, but I will not try to do it because I will maybe get away from the way the phrase of this poet is usually translated by Greek authors or translators and this can be misleading for you.

So it would be best to keep it in this form because that is how the poem would normally be translated over?
