If you are Love’s lover and in quest of Love, take a sharpdagger and cut the throat of bashfulness.
Know that reputation is a great barrier in the path; what I say
is disinterested—accept it with a tranquil mind.
Why did that madman work a thousand kinds of madness,
that chosen wild one invent a thousand wiles?
Now he rent his robe, now he ran over the mountains, now
he quaffed poison, now he elected annihilation;
Since the spider seized such huge prey, consider what prey
the snare of My Lord the Most High will take!
Since the love of Laila’s face had all that worth, how will it be
with He carried His servant by night?
Have you not seen the Divans of Visa and Ramin? Have you not read the stories of Vamiq and ‘Adhra?
You gather up your garment lest the water should wet it; you
must dive a thousand times into the sea.
Love’s path has proved all drunkenness and abasement, for
the torrent flows downwards; how should it run upwards?
You will be as a bezel in the lovers’ ring, if you are the earringed
slave of the king, my master;
Just as this earth is thrall to the sky, just as the body is thrall
to the spirit.
Come, say, what loss did earth suffer from this bond? What
kindnesses has not reason done to the members?
My son, it behoves not to beat the drum under a blanket;
plant your flag like a brave warrior in the midst of the plain.
With your spirit’s ear listen to the thousand tumults echoing
in the green dome’s air from the glamour of the passionate ones!
When the cords of your robe are loosened by Love’s intoxication,
behold then the angel’s rapture, the houri’s amazement!
How all the world trembles, on high and below, because of
Love, which transcends all below and on high!
When the sun has arisen, where then remains night?
When the army of grace has come, where then remains affection?
I fell silent; Soul of the soul, do you speak, for every atom
has grown articulate out of love for your face.
