[Sunlight] Don't complain of affliction

~

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

Don't complain of affliction,
for it's a smooth-paced horse
carrying you toward nonexistence.

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

Bas ze dard aknun shekâyat bar ma-dâr
kust su-ye nist aspi râhvâr

--Mathnawi, VI:1474
Rumi: Jewels of Remembrance
Version by Camille and Kabir Helminski
Threshold Books, 1996
