Treasure
This Rumi poem turns to a woman embracing the child version of herself:
ای قوم به حج رفته کجایید کجایید
معشوق همین جاست بیایید بیایید
با این همه آن رنج شما گنج شما باد
افسوس که بر گنج شما پرده شمایید
***
Oh pilgrims on your way to hajj
Where are you going?
Your beloved is right here
Come back! Come back!
Did you know your suffering is your treasure?
Alas, you are the veil
covering your treasure
***
