Vis and Ramin

274 VISRAMIANI
"0 hard heart, arise and set out, grieve me no more
henceforth, and do not anger thyself. Do not be angry
with one who will trust thee and miss thee to the end. Do
not stay with her (Gul), because thou knowest the bitterness
of life for her without thee. Thou shouldst have more pity
on her who is most thine own (property). Come, for we shall
be as pleasant henceforth as knowledge to the soul and light
to the eyes. Thine absence is a hard rock, and nought save
the sight of thee will break it. I cannot bear to be without
thee. I shall not recall the past, and thou shalt not mention
the cause. It matters not that thou hast forsaken me, and
hast lopped the tree of love ; again thou wilt graft it with
unity of heart, the fruit even will come better forth on the
grafting. Begin to seek love from the beginning, and be
not false to my heart, that God may not hold thee guilty."
