Poem

المقالة الرابعة / The Fourth Discourse

Original content

پسر گفتش دلم حیران بماندست
که بی شه زادهٔ پریان بماندست

چو آن دختر محیا و عزیزست
بگو باری بمن تا آن چه چیزست

که من نادیده او را در فراقش
چو شمعم جان بلب پر اشتیاقش

پدر گفت این حکایة پیش او باز
عروسی جلوه داد از پردهٔ راز

English translation

The son said to him, 'My heart remains bewildered, For it remains without the princess of the fairies. Since that girl is prepared and dear, Tell me at least what that thing is, So that I, without having seen her, in separation from her, Am like a candle, my soul at my lips, full of longing for her.' The father recounted this tale back to him, Revealing a bride from the curtain of mystery.
