Like friends united, it's a season blessed:

Heart's light is sparked to life by body's death.

At the sound of lightning laughing, clouds cry,

And the garden laughs as tears fall from the sky.

#1636, from Rumi's Kolliyaat-e Shams-e Tabrizi
Edited by Badiozzaman Forouzanfar (Tehran, Amir Kabir, 1988).
