[Sunlight] The master’s good will

~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The ass runs from its master because it's asinine;
the master runs after the ass out of good will.
He seeks him, not from profit or loss,
but so that the wolf will not tear him to pieces.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Khar gorizad az khodâvand az khari
sâhebesh dar pay ze niku-gawhari
Nah az pay-e sud o ziyân mi juyadesh
balke tâ gorgesh na-darad yâ dadesh

-- Mathnawi II: 1899-1900
Version by Camille and Kabir Helminski
"Rumi: Daylight"
Threshold Books, 1994
