If the heart achieves the status of a mirror <br />The sight of the beloved [God] is free <br /> <br />O [my] tongue, help me [and speak], as today [my] beloved <br />Is awaiting to hear the splendid description [of her beauty] <br /> <br />Do not ask Bu Ali* about the wisdom of love <br />He has not learned the rules of this art <br /> <br />The mirror, sitting together with you [O my love] <br />Has roused the envy of the bed of roses <br /> <br />([Lovers] in peace are wakeful, because of you <br />"Paupers have no fear of robbers" <br /> <br />[O my love] just have a look at "Vali" for a while <br />He is waiting for your sight since the morning<br /><br />Wali Mohammed Wali<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-the-heart-achieves-the-status-of-a-mirror/
