Na Man Behooda Girde Kocha | Rumi

Na man behooda girde koch 0 bazaar megardam

Mazaj-e-ashiqee daram paye
dildar megardam

Khudaya rahm kon bar man
Pareeshan waar megardam

Khata karam gonahgaram
Ba hale zaar megardam

Sharabe showq menosham
Ba girde yaar megardam

Sukhan mastana megoyam
Walay hooshyaar megardam

~ Rumi


نه من بيهوده گرد کوچه و بازار می گردم
مذاق عاشقی دارم پی ديدار ميگردم
خدايا رحم کن بر من پريشان وار می گردم
خطا کارم گناهکارم به حال زار می گردم
شراب شوق می نوشم به گرد يار می گرد
سخن مستانه می گويم ولی هوشيار می گردم

No I am not roaming aimlessly
around the streets and bazaar
I am a lover searching for his beloved

God have mercy on me
I am walking around troubled

I have done wrong and sinned
and am walking around wounded

I have drunk the wine of desire
and am strolling around beloved

Though I may seem drunk
I am quite sober

And why are the eyes shedding tears like a shower of rain? – – – His shining face appeared to me in a vision, And fragrance emanated in profusion from His tresses; I fainted from the sight of these visions; The hordes of his eyes overpowered me. – – – His face shines like the full moon; A brilliant light radiates from his brow; His hair is black, and his eyes are bewitching and intoxicated. – – – His two eye-brows are like cross-bows, Hurling darts of pointed eye-lashes (in all directions); His lips are red like rubies of Yemen; His white teeth like a string of pearls. – – – I am not sure whether I should call his face the essence of life; Or life of the entire universe; The truth is that it is (like) the glory of God, From which all...
