Maghribi : Invisible Caravans

For more about the 14th c. CE Persian Sufi and poet Mohammed Shrin Maghribi, see this post.

Love’s concert is calling,
but the flute can’t be seen.

The drunks are in sight,
but the wine can’t be seen.

Hundreds of caravans
have passed
this very way —

Don’t be surprised
if their trace can’t be seen.

Translation David & Sabrineh Fideler
