متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

گفت معشوقی به عاشق کای فتیتو به غربت دیده ای بس شهرها
A beloved said to the lover: "O youth,
you have seen many cities in your wandering abroad—
پس کدامین شهر ز آنها خوشترستگفت آن شهری که در وی دلبرست
so which of those cities is the most pleasant?"
He said: "That city in which the heart-stealer dwells.
هرکجا باشد شه ما را بساطهست صحرا گر بود سم الخیاط
Wherever our king spreads his carpet,
it is an open plain even if it were the eye of a needle.
هر کجا که یوسفی باشد چو ماهجنتست ارچه که باشد قعر چاه
Wherever a Joseph, radiant as the moon, may be,
it is paradise even if it be the bottom of a well."
