Life Increasing Light
- I swear by Allah, the ever-living, the all-knowing, the all-powerful, the ever-saving,
- The light of Shams lit the candles of love and thousands of divine secrets became known and understood.
- With his one decree, the world was filled with love and the lover, the ruler and the ruled.
- Amazing treasures were hidden in the talismans and spells of Shams of Tabriz.
- We burn like candles every night in the fire of his separation. We have been separated from honey, but we have become candles burning in the fire of his love.
- Since we left him, our body has been destroyed and ruined. The soul has turned into an owl in the ruins of this body.
- O Shams, sema' is forbidden unless you are present. Musical instruments are also the work of the devil and are stoned.
- Not a single ghazal has been sung in your absence to be read, understood and enjoyed.
(This ghazal was sung for Shams-i Tabrizî and recited to him in Damascus. The first verse has no rhyme. Perhaps the first couplet has been forgotten or lost).
YOU'RE MY LIFE, HOW CAN I LIVE WITHOUT YOU?
- What if my beloved were to come tomorrow and hold my hand, or look out of the window and show me his face, bright as the fourteenth of the moon...
- May the beloved, who adds life to my life, come through the door, untie my hands and feet bound by the ruthless separation, and save me
- I say to him: "O my dear, O my life, I swear by your life that life without you is very unpleasant, very meaningless. I do not like to drink without you. It does not make me happy, even wine does not enchant me without you.
- If he is coy and says, "Go, what do you want from me? I am afraid of you in case your love infects me and I fall in love too."
- I will take the sword and the shroud, and I will lie on the ground like a sacrificial lamb, and I will stretch out my neck and I will say: "If I am bothering you, if I am giving you a headache, take the sword and cut my neck without any mercy and with peace of mind..."
- My beloved, you know very well that I do not want to live without you, and I swear by Allah, the One who raises the dead, that death is sweeter and more pleasant to me than separation.
- Do you not believe how I love you, that you have turned away from me? Have I not always been telling you, "The words of the enemies are false, slander"?
- You are my life, how can I live without life? You are my eyes, how can I see without eyes?
DON'T SHOW ME YOUR SEPARATION, YOUR SEPARATION IS HARD-HEARTED.
Even if the eye, mind and soul go, don't go! I think seeing you is better than them. Just don't go!
- The sun and the sky have taken refuge in your shadow. If this sky and these stars go, let them go, but not you!
- All the people of faith are afraid of leaving their faith in their last breath. O sultan of faith! My fear is that you will leave. Please don't go!
- Don't go, if you go, take my life with you. If you are not going to take me away from this table and take me with you, don't go!
- When I am with you, every part of the world is a garden and orchard for me. Even if the beauties of the garden and orchard go away in the fall, don't go!
- Do not show me your separation, your separation is very stone-hearted. O beloved, for whose beauty even the stones are la'l, do not go away.
- Who is the mote to say, "O sun, don't go!"? Who is the servant to dare to say, "My Sultan, don't go!"?
- But you are the life. And all human beings are fish swimming in that life. Your kindness is very abundant. There is no end to your mercy. Have mercy, be kind and do not leave!
WE WATCHED A PLAIN OF LOVE; REMEMBER THAT!
- You saddled the horse of separation against our will. You want to go like a sweet life, but don't forget us, remember us!
- There are many, many good friends, good friends for you on earth and in the sky, but do not forget the covenant, the oath you made with your old friend, remember!
- Maybe that's why you resented me and started to bear a grudge! But O friend who holds no grudge, remember the nights we spent together!
- When you pillow the moon on your head every night on the road, remember the nights when you pillowed our knees!
- I was caught up in your love, I tried to pierce the mountain of separation like Farhad. O beauty who made many beauties like hundreds of Husrev, hundreds of Shirin as her servants and slaves; remember me!
- On the shore of my eyes, which had become a sea, we watched a plain of love full of saffron branches and August roses; remember that!
- My fervent wishes are ascending to the heavens. When Gabriel (a.s.) ascends to the Throne and says, "Amen, amen!" from the Throne, remember this!
- O Shams of Tabriz! Since I saw your face, my religion is love. My religion is consoled by your face. Do not forget these things, remember them!
I WROTE YOU A TROUBLED LETTER IN THE EARLY HOURS OF THE MORNING.
- Come, come, for I have neither reason nor religion left in me because of your separation! Patience and patience are gone from this poor, lonely heart!
- Don't ask me about the yellowing of my face, the trouble of my heart, the burning of my soul! Their condition cannot be described, it is beyond description! Come and see with your own eyes how they are!
- My face, red like a loaf baked with your heat, with your fire, is now crumbling like stale bread, scattered on the ground!
- I used to collect dreams and daydreams from your beautiful face like a mirror! Come and look at my yellowing skin, my wrinkled face!
- I am like water in a stream, flowing left and right! Separation haunts me; it lurks on my left and right, watching me!
- I have turned my face to the heavens day and night, like the earth, because I am in love with your beauty that does not fit in the heavens and the earth!
- "For God's sake, turn back from this expedition and come to us!" I wrote a letter in my heart, and gave it to the wind of dawn to take it to you!
- 0 I said in my letter: "Even if you have clay on your head, wash it off and come! Even if you get a thorn in your foot, do not sit down to remove it, do not waste time!
THE FIRE OF YOUR LOVE BURNED ALL MY PATIENCE AND MY RESOLVE
-Since you have seen what I have suffered for the trouble of my heart, come, my beautiful beloved, come, come, come, come!
-I don't care if my capital, my earnings go, I'm not afraid. As long as you stay, you stay! Because you are my life, my life. You are the capital of every earning. Come, come, what would I do without you?
- My dearest one! O friend of my heart! Before I saw your face, I was a patient person. The fire of your love has burned all my patience and determination. I cannot live without you, come!
-If you want to make the enemy happy by leaving me and going far away, the enemy was happy with your cold behavior towards me, so rest assured! There is no need to go to the narrow place anymore. Don't upset me in vain, come!
-However callous and stone-hearted you may be, your behavior is towards me. You are a precious pearl of both worlds. Come like the water of mercy gushing out of the stone!
-There is no one but you who is privy to the groans of the heart and soul. My heart is like a mountain. Come on, like David (a.s.) to this mountain, give voice to it.
-O Shams of Tabriz! Separation is an eternal accident and destiny. Don't say, "This is our destiny!" If you want such a decree, it has happened. Come on as an accident and destiny!
VINEYARDS AND GARDENS SALUTE HIM
Come on, sprinkle water on the roads to keep them dust-free; the beloved is coming! Give good news to the garden; the scent of spring is coming!
Make way for the beloved, whose face is as radiant as the fourteenth of the moon.
- The heavens are split open with excitement; there is a howl in the world! Amber and musk are scattered around; the flag of the beloved is coming!
- The face of the vineyard and garden has smiled; the light of truth is coming to the seeing eye! Sorrow is stuck aside; it is as if the moon is being born in our lap!...
- The arrow flies towards the target! The sultan has gone hunting; why are we sitting still? Come on, let's go; let's be prey to that sultan!
- The vineyards and gardens salute him; the cypresses are on their feet! The green rosebushes are running towards him on foot; the rosebuds are coming on horses!
- What kind of wine do those who enter into halvah with the beloved in the sky drink, that the souls are ecstatic, fall down, and the mind is intoxicated?
