Shushtari - Leyla (2) sous titres

Описание: Art by Mahmoud Farshchian...https://www.farshchianart.com/

There is no life but Layla.
When in doubt ask everything about her.

Her mystery emanates in everything
and because of that everything praises her.

Her beauty is widespread, its fullness, concealed.
The witness says:

She is like the sun, its light radiant,
yet when you seek it, it tums to shadow.

She is like the mirror in which images appear
reflected, yet nothing resides there.

She is like the eye which has no color
yet in it appear colors in every hue

Hers is the right course, even if I suffer,
her evidence is in the removal of the cloak.

Her injustice is just. As for her justice,
it is grace; my brother ask for more.

In her meadow, there is none but her
so she alone is invoked.

A wonder, she remains distant, no where
Then union draws near, hands full

And union with her brings us fullness,
distance from her, division; both are mine.

In union, there is no difference between us.
In division, confusion upon me.

In her raiment, her ambiguity is displayed
for everything is mirrored in her.

She unveiled one day for Qays and he tuned away,
saying: O people, I loved no other.

1 am Layla and she is Qays. What a wonder!
How is that what I seek comes to me from me?
