in the name of god the merciful, the compassionate
1. Listen to the reed how it tells a tale, complaining of separations
Saying, “Ever since I was parted from the reed-bed, my lament hath caused man and woman to moan.
I want a bosom torn by severance, that I may unfold (to such a one) the pain of love-desire.
Every one who is left far from his source wishes back the time when he was united with it.
Ḥaḍrat Jalālu'd-Dīn Rūmī r.h., Matsnawī I, “bait 1—4”
