《愛者》/魯米

來自專欄 魯米的詩

從這世界動身出發吧愛者，

是時候了。我的靈魂之耳

聽見遙遠星河傳來的鼓聲。

駱駝駕駛員整裝待發，

旅行隊也已準備就緒。

他請求我們原諒他給我們造成的麻煩，

他問我們這批旅行者為什麼昏昏沉沉。

空氣里充滿離別愁緒的味道，星星

像蠟燭微光穿透藍色夜幕指向我們，

一片蒼茫的曠野無邊無際，

一個奇妙的人踏上了旅程。

肖林振/譯

Lovers

O lovers, lovers it is time

to set out from the world.

I hear a drum in my souls ear

coming from the depths of the stars.

Our camel driver is at work;

the caravan is being readied.

He asks that we forgive him

for the disturbance he has caused us,

He asks why we travelers are asleep.

Everywhere the murmur of departure;

the stars, like candles

thrust at us from behind blue veils,

and as if to make the invisible plain,

a wondrous people have come forth.
