The tavern of this world would have been exempt from turbulence

رباعی شمارهٔ 18

Toggle stanza 1
تهی از های و هو میخانه بودی
1
تهی از های و هو میخانه بودی
گل ما از شرر بیگانه بودی

The tavern of this world would have been exempt from turbulence —

No spark would have illuminated our clay’s indifference.

2
نبودی عشق و این هنگامهٔ عشق
اگر دل چون خرد فرزانه بودی

There would have been neither love nor its tumult —

If the heart possessed the mind’s intelligence.
