220 THE SHINING LAMP کی به یک جایش قراری میبود هر که جویان نگاری میبود And a true seeker of a beloved, Is never satisfied just sitting in one place. تا مگر آید نظر آن روی یار میدود هر سو همی دیوانه وار He looks in every direction running like a madman, In the hope of perhaps seeing his friend's face somewhere. دل ز دستش اوفتد از هجر دوست هر که عشق دلبری در جان اوست One in whose soul the love of his beloved has taken abode, Is close to death at the separation from his friend. توبه از روی دل آرامی کجا عاشقان را صبر و آرامی کجا There is no respite and rest for lovers! And how can one turn away from the face of the beloved? روز و شب با آن رخش کاری بود هر که را عشق رخ یاری بود When you are in love with the appearance of the beloved, Then one is preoccupied day and night with the beloved's face. در تن و جانش فراقی اوفتد فرقتش گر اتفاقی اوفتد If, by chance, he is separated from his beloved, It causes a separation in his soul and body. میکند بر وی پریشان روزگار یک زمانی زندگی بی روی یار Without his beloved, even an instant, Makes his life most difficult to bear.
