Chun ba did! gardish sang asia,
Abju ra ham bibin akhir bia,
Khak-ra did! baramad dar hawa,
Darmiyan khak bingar bad-ra.
Dighae flkr mi bin! ba jush,
Andar atish ham nazr mi kun bahush
Guft Haqq Aiyub ra 'dar karamat
Man ba bar mui tu sabr dadamat '
Hin, ba sabr khud makun chandin nazr,
Sabr didi, sabr dadanra nigar.
JALALUDDIN RUMI
When you have seen the millstone turning round,
Then, prithee, go and see the stream that turns it.
When you have seen the dust rising up into the air,
Go and mark the air in the midst of the dust.
You see the kettles of thought boiling over,
Look with intelligence at the fire beneath them.
God said to Job" Out of my clemency
I have given a grain of patience to every hair of thine"
Look not then, so much at your own patience,
After seeing patience, look to the Giver of patience.
(Translation by WHINFIELD)
