about

Poem is Ghazal number 578 by Rumi.

lyrics

I have a covenant with happiness, the happiness of which is mine
I swear by the essence of life that the essence of life is my soul

The Sultan gave me the command in his own line
May he be my king until his throne and until his fortune

If he is awake, if he is not drunk, he will take my hand
And if I am tired of my own hand, this is my cure

Venus scratches the face of the moon
Let me go from the sky, so that she will be my Satan

مرا عهدیست با شادی که شادی آن من باشد
مرا قولیست با جانان که جانان جان من باشد

به خط خویشتن فرمان به دستم داد آن سلطان
که تا تختست و تا بختست او سلطان من باشد

اگر هشیار اگر مستم نگیرد غیر او دستم
وگر من دست خود خستم همو درمان من باشد

بِدَرَم زَهره زُهره خراشم ماه را چهره
بَرَم از آسمان مُهره چو او کیوان من باشد
