The Descent of the Messiah — Page 130
THE DESCENT OF THE MESSIAH وه چه این چشم هست و این دیده که برو آفتاب پوشیده The eyes are meant to make one aware of the path, but strange are your eyes that do not even see the sun! گر به دل باشدت خیال خدا این چنین ناید از تو استغنا If you had the thought of God in your heart, you would not be so heedless. از دل و جان طريق او جویی و از سر صدق سوی او پویی You would have wholeheartedly sought His path and hastened toward it with unwavering loyalty. خبرش پرسد از خبرداری هر کرا دل بود به دلداری When a person falls in love with another, he seeks news about them from someone who knows them. گر نباشد لقای محبوبی جوید از نزد یار مکتوبی Then, if a meeting with the beloved is not possible, he seeks a letter from the friend. بی دلآرام نایدش آرام گه به رویش نظر گهی به کلام He cannot find peace without the one who comforts his heart; sometimes he looks at his face, and sometimes he reflects on his words. آنکه داری به دل محبت او نایدت صبر جز به صحبت او O you who carry his love in your heart, you cannot endure being away from him and not sitting with him. 130
