[Sunlight] Sitting with friends

~

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

Whoever is sitting with friends
is in the midst of a flower garden,
though he may be in the fire.
Whoever sits with an enemy is in the fire,
even though he is in the midst of a garden.

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

Har keh bâshad ham-neshin-e dustân
hast dar golkhan miyân-e bustân
Har keh bâ doshman neshinad dar zaman
hast u dar bustân dar gulkhan

-- Mathnawi IV: 1976-1978
Version by Camille and Kabir Helminski
"Rumi: Jewels of Remembrance"
