شاعر: رومی
وزن: فاعلاتن فاعلاتن فاعلن (رمل مسدس محذوف یا وزن مثنوی)
صنف: مثنوی
If the time of prayers had passed, this world would have become dark to you and without a gleam of light;
(And then) from disappointment and grief tears would have flowed from your two eyes in the fashion of (water from) water- skins,
(Because) every one has delight in some act of devotion and consequently cannot bear to miss it (even) for a short while.
