When pain arrives side by side with your love
I promise not to flee
When you ask me for my life
I promise not to fight
I am holding a cup in my hand
By God if you do not come
Till the end of time
I promise not to pour out the wine
Nor to drink a sip
Divan-ı Kebir
Translated from Rumi’s Divan by Fatemeh Keshavarz. Read by Fatemeh Keshavarz.
