Ghazal No. 378: Oh, you who have been checkmated by the king of love

غزل شماره ۳۷۸: ای گشته ز شاه عشق شهمات

O you who have been checkmated by the king of love

Do not be in anger and in recompense

ای گشته ز شاه عشق شهمات

در خشم مباش و در مکافات

Enter the garden of annihilation and look

In the soul of your eternity, there are paradises

در باغ فنا درآ و بنگر

در جان بقای خویش جنات

When your face goes further from yourself

You will see beyond these heavens

چون پیشترک روی تو از خود

بینی ز ورای این سماوات

The sultan of truths and meanings

And from the ancient light, canopies and banners

سلطان حقایق و معانی

وز نور قدیم چتر و رایات

When it becomes manifest, do not seek miracles

For miracles were for the sake of signs

چون گشت عیان مجو کرامت

کز بهر نشان بود کرامات

As long as the shore of the sea is visible, the flood is evident

When it is drowned, where is it? Alas!

تا ساحل بحر سیل پیداست

چون غرقه شود کجاست هیهات

We are checkmated by you, Shams Tabriz

A hundred services and a hundred greetings from the checkmated

ما مات تویم شمس تبریز

صد خدمت و صد سلام از مات
