《心會隱藏秘密》/魯米

放下憂愁，心如止水，

就像鏡子——

反映萬物，但不持一物。

若你想要一面明鏡，

那就反觀自己，

低俗的真相自會浮出鏡面。

若金屬能磨成一面明鏡，

那麼心靈之鏡，

要經歷怎樣的打磨呢？

鏡子和心靈只有一點不同：

心隱藏秘密，而鏡子不會。

肖林振/譯

Let go of your worries

and be completely clear-hearted,

like the face of a mirror

that contains no images.

If you want a clear mirror,

behold yourself

and see the shameless truth,

which the mirror reflects.

If metal can be polished

to a mirror-like finish,

what polishing might the mirror

of the heart require?

Between the mirror and the heart

is this single difference:

the heart conceals secrets,

while the mirror does not.

The Divani Shamsi Tabriz, XIII
