Rumi's Masnavi - Where is the musician of that Súfí monastery, that he may quickly play the tambourine (and sing), “The ass is gone, the ass is gone”?

Where is the musician of that Súfí monastery, that he may quickly play the tambourine (and sing), “The ass is gone, the ass is gone”?

مطرب آن خانقه کو تا که تفت ** دف زند که خر برفت و خر برفت

Since a hare brings a lion to the well, how should not a fox lead an ass to the grass?

چونک خرگوشی برد شیری به چاه ** چون نیارد روبهی خر تا گیاه

Shut thine ear and do not swallow (beguiling) spells: (swallow naught) but the spell of the righteous saint—

گوش را بر بند و افسونها مخور ** جز فسون آن ولی دادگر

That spell of his, (which is) sweeter than halwá, that (spell) of whose feet a hundred halwá’s are (only) the dust. 2520

آن فسون خوشتر از حلوای او ** آنک صد حلواست خاک پای او

The imperial jars full of the wine (of mystical knowledge) have drawn their stock from the wine of his lips.

خنبهای خسروانی پر ز می ** مایه برده از می لبهای وی

(Only) that alien soul which has never seen the wine of his ruby lips is a lover of the wine (of conventional knowledge).

عاشق می باشد آن جان بعید ** کو می لبهای لعلش را ندید

Since the blind bird does not see the sweet water, how should not it circle round the brackish water?

آب شیرین چون نبیند مرغ کور ** چون نگردد گرد چشمه‌ی آب شور

The spiritual Moses makes the breast a Sinai: he makes the blind parrots able to see.

موسی جان سینه را سینا کند ** طوطیان کور را بینا کند

The Khusraw (who is the lover) of the spiritual Shírín has beaten the drum (of sovereignty); consequently sugar has become cheap in the city. 2525

خسرو شیرین جان نوبت زدست ** لاجرم در شهر قند ارزان شدست

The Josephs of the unseen world are marching: they are bringing bales of candy and sugar.

یوسفان غیب لشکر می‌کشند ** تنگهای قند و شکر می‌کشند
