غزل ۱۵۳۸ مولانا

۱	بَران بودم که فرهنگی بِجویَم	که آن مَهْ‌رو نَهَد رویی به رویَم
۲	بِگُفتم یک سُخَن دارم به خاطر	به پیش آ تا به گوشِ تو بگویم
۳	که خوابی دیده‌‌‌‌اَم من دوشْ ای جان	زِ تو خواهم که تَعْبیرشْ بِجویَم
۴	ندارم مَحْرَم این خوابْ جُز تو	تو بِشْنو ای شَهِ سَتّار خویَم
۵	بِجُنبانید سَر را و بِخَندید	سَری را که بِدانَد مو به مویَم
۶	که یعنی حیله با من می‌سِگالی	که من آیینه هر رنگ و بویَم
۷	مِثالِ لُعْبَتی‌اَم در کَفِ او	که نَقْشِ سوزنِ زَرْدوزِ اویَم
۸	نباشد‌‌ بی‌حَیاتْ آن نَقْشْ کو کرد	کَمین نَقْشَشْ مَنَم در های و هویَم

Rumi quotes, Rumi sonnet, Rumi words, Rumi Poetry

۱- I was intent on seeking a stratagem, that that moon-faced one might set his face on mine.

۲- I said, “I have one word in my mind; come forward, that I may speak it in your ear.

۳- Last night, dear soul, I saw a dream, and I desire to seek from you its interpretation,

۴- I have none intimate with this dream but you; do you listen, my king whose habit is to conceal.”

۵- He moved his head and laughed—that head which knows me hair by hair

۶- As if to say, “You are hatching a trick to play on me, for I am the mirror of every hue and scent.”

۷- I am as a plaything in his hands, for I am the picture drawn by his gold-stitching needle.

۸- Not lifeless shall be the image which he has made; I am his least image, I am therefore in ecstasy.
