131 FOOTNOTE NUMBER ELEVEN از دلآرام رنگ میدارند و از ره نام تنگ میدارند They take the colour of the Beloved; They shun reputation and fame. لذت خود بدرد می بینند حسن در روئے زرد می بینند They find their pleasure in the pain they suffer; They see beauty in their love-stricken faces. تو که چون خر گل فرومانی به ہمت آل یلان چه میدانی You are bogged down in mud like a donkey; How then can you appreciate the endeavour and resolution of these champions? سهل باشد حکایت از غم و درد داند آن کس که رو بغمها کرد It is easy to talk about pangs and grief; Who knows what they are except those who suffer these pangs? آفرین خدا بر آں جانے که ز خود شد برائے جانا نے May the mercy of God bless the soul Who has renounced the ego for the Beloved, منزل یار خویش کرد به دل و از ہوا ہا رمید صد منزل Who has made his heart the home of his Beloved, And has flown thousands of miles away from base desires. از خودی در شد و خدا را یافت گم شد و دست رہنما را یافت He distanced himself from the ego, and found God; He lost himself and found the hand of the Guide. تو چه یابی کہ غافلے میں راہ و از جلال خدا نه آگاه But how could you understand when you are so ignorant of this path, And have no understanding of God's glory?
