You ask me what is this heart in your breast

رباعی شمارهٔ 38

Rhyme: لشد

Poetic form: Qit‘a

English translation: Hassaan, Hadi Husain

چه میپرسی میان سینه دل چیست

خرد چون سوز پیدا کرد دل شد

You ask me what is this heart in your breast —

It is your intellect that has been blessed with feeling.

دل از ذوق تپش دل بود لیکن

چو یک دم از تپش افتاد گل شد

While it feels, it is alive —

But when it ceases to feel, it is dust
