THE DESCENT OF THE MESSIAH آن قدر بارها نشان بنمود که ز صد معرفت دری بگشود He showed such numerous signs that they opened up hundreds of doors to knowledge. باز سر میزنی به انکاری سهل پنداشتی چنین کاری Still, your head shakes with denial, and you think that this is something trivial. لا ابالی فتاده ای زان یار فارغی زان جمال و زان گفتار You have become indifferent to that Friend and to this beauty and conversation. مردگان را همین کشی به کنار و از دلآرام زنده ای بیزار You hold lifeless bodies in your arms but are weary of the immor- tal Beloved. عشق و صبر این دو کار دشوار است کس شنیدی که قانع از یار است Have you ever heard of someone being indifferent to their friend? Love and patience do not go together. این بود حال و طور عاشق زار این بود قدر دلبر ای مردار Is this the way and manner of a lovesick person? O, dead one, is this the value you give to the beloved? عاشقان را بود از صدق آثار ای سیه دل ترا به عشق چه کار Lovers show signs of sincerity and devotion; O, dark-hearted human, what have you to do with love? 132
