Omidvari

How is the state of the garden, O spring breeze? For from the nightingales, a cry of restlessness has arisen. O treasure of the healing antidote, look upon the weary ones; Holding the salve in hand, you leave us wounded. The rose bears no comparison to your heart-alluring face; Among the roses, you are like a rose amidst thorns. Show me what you have. Show me what you have. Another lifetime is needed for us after this parting, For we have spent this life only in hope. For every pain you see, there is a cure and a remedy; But the cure for Saadi's pain is reconciliation with the beloved. At times the lasso of your tresses, at times the bow of your eyebrow; The former drags me by force, and the latter slays me in misery. At first, you showed such faithfulness as you stole my heart; But when I bound my love tightly, you proved slack in your assistance. The rose bears no comparison to your heart-alluring face; Among the roses, you are like a rose amidst thorns. Show me what you have. Show me what you have. Every hour, because of its delicacy, perspiration beads upon your face, Like the spring rain falling upon blossoms. Another lifetime is needed for us after this parting, For we have spent this life only in hope. Another lifetime is needed for us after this parting, For we have spent this life only in hope. How is the state of the garden, O spring breeze? For from the nightingales, a cry of restlessness has arisen. A cry of restlessness! A cry of restlessness!
