You Can't Get Away
You come and go,
look here and pass there.
You capture the hearts of beauties
and carry them away.
Don't try to run away, O heart.
You can't escape from him.
He doesn't open his door until
you become dust at his doorstep.
You can't pick up a rose
until the thorn has pricked you.
You can't get the ruby
if you don't dig in the mountain.
Unless you dive into the sea,
you can't find pearls or coral.
Your troubles will stay with you
until you become God's drunkard.
You can't capture Joseph of Canaan
unless you dress up like a wolf.
Too much comfort and good fortune
make the body soft and clumsy.
Without going through the troubles of religion,
you cannot reach the glory of faith.
Don't come confused to the earth's bazaar,
and don't leave confused either.
In this business, you can't get this
until you've given that.
What can I do?
Your face became the face of a beggar.
Nothing pleases you.
If you don't act like a heretic,
you can't reach the truth in Islam.
