هستم به وصال دوست دلشاد امشب
وز غصهٔ هجر گشته آزاد امشب
با یار بچرخم و به دل میگویم
یارب که کلید صبح گم باد امشب
Description:
English Translation of the Quatrain
My heart is joyful tonight in the union of my beloved,
And free from the sorrow of separation tonight.

O Lord, may the key to dawn be lost tonight.

Deeper Meanings

Mystical Union: The "beloved" often symbolizes the divine in Sufi poetry. The poet's union with the beloved can be seen as a metaphor for spiritual enlightenment.

The Escape from Time: The poet seems to be seeking a realm beyond time and space, where the constraints of the physical world no longer apply.
