An Aching Heart is An Abode


Chigruna bar naparad jan chu az janab-i-Jalaal,
Khitab-i-lutfl chu shakkar ba jan rasad ki, "ta'al."

Rumi in DIWAN-I-SHAMS-I-TABREZ.


Why does not the soul take wing when from the glorious Presence
A speech of sweet favour comes to it saying, "Aloft !"

(Translation by Nicholson).
