Quatrain 7 from Rubaiyat of Rumi
Description: From the fire of love in the world's heat
And from the lion's milk of loyalty, there is softness
From that moon of which the sun is ashamed
How shameless is the man who is shameless
"From the fire of love in the world's heat": This line suggests that the intensity of love can be likened to the heat of the world, implying a passionate and consuming love.
And from the lion's milk of loyalty, there is softness": This line is more metaphorical, suggesting that even within the fierceness of loyalty, there is a tender, nurturing quality.
From that moon of which the sun is ashamed": This line refers to a divine or spiritual beauty so radiant that even the sun pales in comparison.
How shameless is the man who is shameless": This line is a commentary on human nature, suggesting that those who lack shame or modesty are spiritually impoverished.
