Love

In spring, O Bulbul, go not in thy grief

by Mir Soz c. 1720–1798

Translated by Inayat Khan and Jessie Duncan Westbrook (1919) · From Hindustani Lyrics (1919)

Love

In spring, O Bulbul, go not in thy grief
To seek the garden, wandering apart;
But wait--one day within thy very heart
It shall arise, in bud and bloom and leaf.
