Rumi's Masnavi - Thou hast fallen, like a gnat, into My buttermilk: O gnat, thou art not intoxicated, thou art the wine (itself).

Thou hast fallen, like a gnat, into My buttermilk: O gnat, thou art not intoxicated, thou art the wine (itself).

چون مگس در دوغ ما افتاده‌ای ** تو نه‌ای مست ای مگس تو باده‌ای

O gnat, the vultures become intoxicated by thee, when thou ridest on the ocean of honey.

کرگسان مست از تو گردند ای مگس ** چونک بر بحر عسل رانی فرس

The mountains are tipsy with thee (and dance) like motes; the point and the compass and the line are in thy hand (control).

کوهها چون ذره‌ها سرمست تو ** نقطه و پرگار و خط در دست تو

The torment at which they tremble is trembling at thee: every costly pearl is cheap to thee.” 4210

فتنه که لرزند ازو لرزان تست ** هر گران‌قیمت گهر ارزان تست

If God gave me five hundred mouths, I would sing in description (praise) of thee, O (my) soul and world;

گر خدا دادی مرا پانصد دهان ** گفتمی شرح تو ای جان و جهان

(But) I have (only) one mouth, and even that one is crushed with shame before thee, O knower of the mystery.

یک دهان دارم من آن هم منکسر ** در خجالت از تو ای دانای سر

In sooth I am not more crushed than non-existence, from the mouth of which (all) these peoples have come (forth).

منکسرتر خود نباشم از عدم ** کز دهانش آمدستند این امم

A hundred thousand impressions of the Unseen World are waiting to spring forth graciously and kindly from non-existence.

صد هزار آثار غیبی منتظر ** کز عدم بیرون جهد با لطف و بر

Because of thy urgency my head is reeling: oh, I am dead in the presence of that bounty. 4215

از تقاضای تو می‌گردد سرم ** ای ببرده من به پیش آن کرم

Our desire (for thee) arises from thy urgency: wherever there is a wayfarer, ’tis the pull of God (that draws him on).

رغبت ما از تقاضای توست ** جذبه‌ی حقست هر جا ره‌روست
