Ruba'i No. 21: Do not take the love of the beloved's face away from my wretched self.
رباعی شماره ۲۱: عشق رخ یار، بر من زار مگیر
The love of the beloved's face, do not hold it against my wretched state,
Do not be harsh on the intoxicated hearts of the free-spirited.
عشق رخ یار بر من زار مگیر
بر خسته دلان رند خمار مگیر
O Sufi, since you know the ways of the travelers (on the spiritual path),
Do not find too many faults with the free-spirited people.
صوفی چو تو رسم رهروان میدانی
بر مردم رند نکته بسیار مگیر
Ruba'i No. 21: Do not take the love of the beloved's face away from my wretched self.
