Dear Era,

 

I have tried again. I hope the corruption has left.

 

Regards,

 

Alan

 

 

LAMENT

 

I cried at midnight, “who lives in my heart’s house ?â€

He said “ it’s I , by whose light, sun and moon are shamed,

Why is your heart’s home filled with stone idols ?â€

I said “they’re only your reflection whose face

Is a mirror of Chigil, Turkestan’s land of beauty .â€

 

He asked “ what’s this boil, daubed with heart’s blood ?â€

I said “this is me, so weary, my feet are muddied by the mireâ€.

 

I noosed my soul’s neck and took it to you as a token.

He said It’s a talisman of Love, don’t sacrifice your amulet.

He gave me the end of a thread full of laughter and play,

“Pull’†he said “without breaking it, in the pulling.â€

 

From my soul’s tent flaired my Beloved, fairer than before,

I stretched my hands out , he hit them saying “let go!â€

 

I said “You’re a harsh master ! “ no, he replied

I’m strict for your real good, not from cruel spite.

 

Wheover comes in saying it’s ‘me’, I slap on the face.

For this is a temple of love , not a fool’s sheep pen .

 

Assuredly Shams of Tabriz is the image of that One,

Open your eyes, look into your heart, and see his reflection
