《當我目睹你的容顏之後》/魯米

我是一位雕塑家，鐫刻形象。

每時每刻，我捏出一個偶像。

但後來，在你面前，

我把它們全都融化。

我能雕刻千百樣栩栩如生的作品，

但當我目睹你的容顏之後，

我就只想把它們全都丟進火堆。

我的靈魂湧入你的靈魂，

融合在一起。

因為我的靈魂吸收了你的優雅，

所以我無比珍惜。

我的每一滴血都會滲入大地，

當我心中充滿愛，我就與我摯愛的人融合。

在這間泥水交融的房間里，我的心

已成一片廢墟。我的摯愛，

走進這個房間吧，或者就讓我離開。

肖林振/譯

I am a sculptor, a molder of form.

In every moment I shape an idol.

But then, in front of you, I melt them down

I can rouse a hundred forms

and fill them with spirit,

but when I look into your face,

I want to throw them in the fire.

My souls spills into yours and is blended.

Because my soul has absorbed your fragrance,

I cherish it.

Every drop of blood I spill

informs the earth,

I merge with my Beloved

when I participate in love.

In this house of mud and water,

my heart has fallen to ruins.

Enter this house, my Love, or let me leave.
