Ghazal No. 366: The smoke of our heart is a sign of passion
غزل شماره ۳۶۶: دود دل ما نشان سوداست
The smoke of our heart is a sign of melancholy
And that smoke which is from the heart is evident
دود دل ما نشان سوداست
وان دود که از دلست پیداست
Every wave that the heart strikes from blood
That heart is nothing but a sea
هر موج که میزند دل از خون
آن دل نبود مگر که دریاست
The acquaintances have become strangers
Why has the heart also risen in enmity?
بیگانه شدند آشنایان
دل نیز به دشمنی چه برخاست
Wherever love has placed its belongings
Wherever there is blame, that is there
هر سوی که عشق رخت بنهاد
هر جا که ملامتست آن جاست
We do not flee from this blame
For it is our ancient home
ما نگریزیم از این ملامت
زیرا که قدیم خانه ماست
Kings envy in love
Because love is the candle of hearts
در عشق حسد برند شاهان
زان روی که عشق شمع دلهاست
Place your foot on the head of the seventh heaven
For this love is in the upper chambers
پا بر سر چرخ هفتمین نه
کاین عشق به حجرههای بالاست
Do not be conscious, for the conscious one
Is very disgraced in the assembly of love
هشیار مباش زان که هشیار
در مجلس عشق سخت رسواست
Do not seek leadership, for the leader of the assembly
If he has closed his eyes, he is seeing
میری مطلب که میر مجلس
گر چشم ببستهست بیناست
This love is still under the veil
See this black dust that has risen
این عشق هنوز زیر چادر
این گرد سیاه بین که برخاست
Although it is under seven veils
It is evident that it is very good and beautiful
هر چند که زیر هفت پردهست
پیداست که سخت خوب و زیباست
Rise at night, O companions
There is a candle, wine, and the beloved is alone
شب خیز کنید ای حریفان
شمعست و شراب و یار تنهاست
