تورا من در تابش فروتن اين چراغ مي بينم

آنجا كه تويي

مرا تو در ظلمت كده ويران سراي من در ميابي

اينجا كه منم

شاملو

Bittersweet

written by Rumi

-------

In my hallucination
I saw my beloved's flower garden
In my vertigo, in my dizziness
In my drunken haze
Whirling and dancing like a spinning wheel
.
..
I saw myself as the source of existence
I was there in the beginning
And I was the spirit of love
Now I am sober
There is only the hangover
And the memory of love
And only the sorrow

..

I yearn for happiness

I ask for help

I want mercy

And my love says

..

Look at me and hear me

Because I am here

Just for that

..

I am your moon and your moonlight too

I am your flower garden and your water too

I have come all this way, eager for you

Without shoes or shawl

.

..

I want you to laugh

To kill all your worries

To love you

To nourish you

..

Oh sweet bitterness

I will soothe you and heal you

I will bring you roses

I, too, have been covered with thorns
