Rumi quatrain, #311 Foruzanfar

O heart, you and your pain- this is the cure!
Long and don’t complain- this is the command!
If you but kick hope and want for a while
The dog of ego will die- this is the sacrifice!

ای دل تو و درد او که درمان اینست
غم می خور و دم مزن که فرمان اینست
گر پای بر آرزو نهادی یکچند
کشتی سگ نفس را و قربان اینست
