Rumi’s ghazal translated by Fatima Haidari with David Keplinger

حیلت رها کن عاشقا دیوانه شو دیوانه شو
و اندر دل آتش درآ پروانه شو پروانه شو

هم خویش را بیگانه کن هم خانه را ویرانه کن
وآنگه بیا با عاشقان هم خانه شو هم خانه شو

گر چهره بنماید صنم پر شو از او چون آینه
ور زلف بگشاید صنم رو شانه شو رو شانه شو

شکرانه دادی عشق را از تحفه‌ها و مال‌ها
هل مال را خود را بده شکرانه شو شکرانه شو

O lovers, leave your strategy, become crazy, become crazy.
Dive into the heart of fire, become a moth, become a moth.

Estrange yourself and destroy your house,
then join the lovers, become a housemate, become a housemate.

If your Beloved shows her face, become a mirror, full of her.
If your Beloved’s hair is down, become a comb, become a comb.

You gave the love offerings of fortune, wealth, and favor.
Quick, now give yourself, become a gift, become a gift.
