sh 1628 — Divan-e Shams

1	Closed my eyes to the world upon a glimpse of His sight Drunk in His forgiveness, my life and soul took flight	دیده از خلق ببستم چو جمالش دیدم مست بخشایش او گشتم و جان بخشیدم
2	In search of Solomon’s love, I turned my body into wax Rolled a candle of myself in order to turn into light	جهت مهر سلیمان همه تن موم شدم وز پی نور شدن موم مرا مالیدم
3	Recognized His will and gave up my own corrupt wishes Like a reed upon His lips, I could only cry in delight	رای او دیدم و رای کژ خود افکندم نای او گشتم و هم بر لب او نالیدم
4	Held my hand, and in return, like the blind I held His In His hand, I quizzed the clueless in my plight	او به دست من و کورانه به دستش جستم خبران پرسیدم بی‌من به دست وی و از
5	I was either innocent, intoxicated or insane I looted my own treasure while uptight and in fright	ساده دل بودم و یا مست و یا دیوانه دزدیدم ترس ترسان ز زر خویش همی‌
6	Like a thief I found a crack in my own wall Cut jasmines from my garden, like a burglar in the night	از ره رخنه چو دزدان به رز خود رفتم همچو دزدان سمن از گلشن خود می چیدم
7	I am amply mystified under your thumb Your fingers have turned and twisted me tight	بس کن و راز مرا بر سر انگشت مپیچ مکه من از پنجه پیچ تو بسی پیچید
8	Shams-e-Tabriz, light-giver to moon and stars Though full of sorrows, I am crescent moonlight.	شمس تبریز که نور مه و اختر هم از اوست گر چه زارم ز غمش همچو هلال عیدم
