《若愛是樹，愛者便是樹蔭》/魯米

理智的人總是炫耀，

愛者總是感到迷茫。

理智的人遠遠跑開，

因為害怕自己會淹死。

愛就是一頭扎入深海。

理智的人老想要休息，

愛者對此感到羞愧。

愛者總是形單影隻，

即使身邊擠滿了人。

就像水油互不相容，

愛者始終堅持自我。

愛就像麝香，引起人們注意。

愛就像樹木，愛者就是樹蔭。

肖林振/譯

The intellectual is always showing off,

the lover is always getting lost.

The intellectual runs away.

afraid of drowning;

the whole business of love

is to drown in the sea.

Intellectuals plan their repose;

lovers are ashamed to rest.

The lover is always alone.

even surrounded by people;

like water and oil, he remains apart.

The man who goes to the trouble

of giving advice to a lover

get nothing. Hes mocked by passion.

Love is like musk. It attracts attention.

Love is a tree, and the lovers are its shade.

Kulliyat-e Shams, 21
