Today, Sunlight offers two interpretations of Quatrain 1521:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's good to leave each day behind,
like flowing water, free of sadness.
Yesterday is gone and its tale told.
Today new seeds are growing.
-- Translation by Azima Melita Kolin
and Maryam Mafi
Rumi: Whispers of the Beloved
HarperCollins Publishers Ltd, 1999
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
happiness is to reach
the next post every day
like flowing water
free from stillness
and melancholy
yesterday is gone and
took away its talk
today we must live
a fresh story again
--Translation by Nader Khalili
Rumi, Dancing the Flame
Cal-Earth Press, 2001
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
