《愛是不顧一切，非理性的》/魯米

愛是不顧一切，非理性的。

理性尋求利益。愛來得猛烈，

義無反顧地給予自己。

然而在困苦中，

愛就像一塊磨石，

歷經滄桑而又率真。

她不求私利，

不顧一切地愛，

不求任何回報。

為愛可以拋下一切。

冥冥中，我們被賦予生命。

冥冥中，我們又將它歸還。

肖林振/譯

Love is reckless; not reason.

Reason seeks a profit.

Love comes on strong,

consuming herself, unabashed.

Yet, in the midst of suffering,

Love proceeds like a millstone,

hard surfaced and straightforward.

Having died of self-interest,

she risks everything and asks for nothing.

Love gambles away every gift God bestows.

Without cause God gave us Being;

without cause, give it back again.

Mathnawi VI, 1967-1974
