Rumi's Masnavi - When He has plunged him (the lover) into search for the matter (which he has at heart), after that He shuts the door, saying, “Bring the dowry.”

When He has plunged him (the lover) into search for the matter (which he has at heart), after that He shuts the door, saying, “Bring the dowry.”

چون در افکندش بجست و جوی کار ** بعد از آن در بست که کابین بیار

Still they cling to that (sweet) scent (hope) and go (on their quest): at every moment they become hopeful and despairing.

هم بر آن بو می‌تنند و می‌روند ** هر دمی راجی و آیس می‌شوند

Every one (of them) hath hope of (winning) the fruit whereto a door was opened to him on a certain day; 50

هر کسی را هست اومید بری ** که گشادندش در آن روزی دری

Then it was shut (upon them) again; (but) that devotee to the door, (continuing) in the same hope, has become fire-footed.

باز در بستندش و آن درپرست ** بر همان اومید آتش پا شدست

When the youth joyously entered that orchard, verily on a sudden his foot sank in (struck upon) the (buried) treasure.

چون درآمد خوش در آن باغ آن جوان ** خود فرو شد پا به گنجش ناگهان

God had made the night-patrol the means, so that in fear of him he (the lover) should run into the orchard by night

مر عسس را ساخته یزدان سبب ** تا ز بیم او دود در باغ شب

And should see the beloved one searching with a lantern for a ring in the rivulet of the orchard.

بیند آن معشوقه را او با چراغ ** طالب انگشتری در جوی باغ

Therefore at that moment, from the delight (which he experienced), he conjoined praise of God with prayers for the night-patrol, 55

پس قرین می‌کرد از ذوق آن نفس ** با ثنای حق دعای آن عسس

Saying, “I caused loss to the night-patrol by fleeing (from him): scatter o’er him twenty times as much silver and gold.

که زیان کردم عسس را از گریز ** بیست چندان سیم و زر بر وی بریز

Set him free from policing: make him glad even as I am glad.

از عوانی مر ورا آزاد کن ** آنچنان که شادم او را شاد کن
