English translation of poem excerpt:

Hearken to the reed flute, how it complains, Lamenting its banishment from its home:
“Ever since they tore me from my osier bed, My plaintive notes have moved men and women to tears. I burst my breast, striving to give vent to sighs, And to express the pangs of my yearning for my home. One who abides far away from home Is ever longing for the day one shall return.

Jalaal ud-Diin Rumi 1490 adapted from Masnavi i Ma’navi,
translated by E.H. Whinfield.
