گفتم که کجا بود بتا خانه تو
گفتا که دل خراب ویرانه تو
من خورشیدم درون ویرانه روم
ای مست خراب باد کاشانه تو
“O idol, where do you live?”, I asked.
He said, “Your broken and ruined heart;
I am the Sun, and go inside ruins.
O drunk, may your home be destroyed!”
In Persian poetry, treasure is buried in a ruin,
which is associated with wine and drunkenness.
Rumi’s master’s name, Shams, means Sun.
