Love is an immensely complex and dramatic concept in the Persian literature.
It has been described as a burning feeling in the chest, a fire within the heart (soul). As Rumi puts it:
“When the beloved appears like the radiant sun, The lover becomes like a whirling mote.”
Something illogical, something more precious than life itself.
“Reason has no place in the abode of love,
For even the wisest mind is driven mad by love.”
— Raziuddin aRtimani
Love is an eternal struggle. It’s both suffering and fortune, pain and opium.
“O you who are both my pain and my remedy, O you who are both my life and my beloved, My pain has exceeded bounds, send a cure, O remedy for my incurable pain.”
“My pain stems from my beloved, and my cure resides in them too,
My heart is sacrificed for their sake, and my soul surrenders as well.”
— haFiz
Love is a limbo. It drives you insane, a very joyful insanity indeed!
“O Saadi, remain silent if they call you mad for love, Though it arises from a wise heart, it leads to madness.” — saadi
“Abandon your cleverness, lover; go mad, go mad,
Enter into the heart of the fire; become a moth, become a moth.
Make yourself a stranger, and destroy your own house,
Then come and join the lovers; become one with them, become one with them.”
— Rumi
The lover is blindly willing to do anything, even die for the sake of the beloved, since death is the only cure.
“There is a pain beyond death, for which there is no remedy, So how can I ask you to heal this pain? ”
— Rumi
Subsequently, hurting and getting hurt.
“‘How is Shirin’s love for you?’, he asked,
‘Sweeter than the sweetness of my own life.’, he replied, ‘And if it wounds your eye?’
He replied, ‘I have another eye ready to offer.’”
— nizami
Love is a yearning, that you never want to live without, because without it you’re nothing.
“Love’s relentless pull, it won’t let you be,
To the shrine you’ll surely come, if not to the corpse, you see.”
