Rumi's Masnavi - Although the object of thy desire has the taste of sugar, is not absence of any object of desire (in thee) the object of the Beloved's desire?

Every star of His is the blood-price of a hundred new moons: it is lawful for Him to shed the blood of the (whole) world.

هر ستاره‌‌ش خونبهای صد هلال ** خون عالم ریختن او را حلال‌‌

We gained the price and the blood-price: we hastened to gamble our soul away. 1750

ما بها و خونبها را یافتیم ** جانب جان باختن بشتافتیم‌‌

Oh, the life of lovers consists in death: thou wilt not win the (Beloved's) heart except in losing thine own.

ای حیات عاشقان در مردگی ** دل نیابی جز که در دل بردگی‌‌

من دلش جسته به صد ناز و دلال ** او بهانه کرده با من از ملال‌‌

I said, “After all, this mind and soul (of mine) are drowned in Thee.” “Begone,” said He, “begone! Do not chant these spells over Me (do not seek thus to beguile Me).

گفتم آخر غرق تست این عقل و جان ** گفت رو رو بر من این افسون مخوان‌‌

Do not I know what thought thou hast conceived? O thou who hast seen double, how hast thou regarded the Beloved?

من ندانم آن چه اندیشیده‌‌ای ** ای دو دیده دوست را چون دیده‌‌ای‌‌

O gross-spirited one, thou hast held Him in light esteem, because thou hast bought Him very cheaply. 1755

ای گران جان خوار دیده ستی و را ** ز آن که بس ارزان خریده ستی و را

هر که او ارزان خرد ارزان دهد ** گوهری طفلی به قرصی نان دهد

I am drowned in a love (so deep) that therein are drowned the first loves and the last.

غرق عشقی‌‌ام که غرق است اندر این ** عشقهای اولین و آخرین‌‌
