You Claimed My Heart, Gradually, Gradually

Peace, one and all…

A beautiful poem describing the spiritual path, by Fayz-i Kashani. Translated by the administrators of the excellent Rumi’s Echoes You Tube channel and Whats App study group.

With gentle art and charm, You claimed my heart, gradually, gradually,
And hollowed me out of my self, gradually, gradually.

You draw the soul to Yourself, kindling a flame within the heart,
Much akin to a rope being pulled, gradually, gradually.

Your aim it seems, is for me to be a sacrifice on Your path,
Pulling the heart to take my soul, gradually, gradually.

Your love found home within my heart, its city wholly seized,
It liberated me from my existence, gradually, gradually.

To Your love, my heart I gave, indifferent now to worldly charm,
Severing the thread of life from the body, gradually, gradually.

So deep my contemplation, I became You, from head to toe,
You came little by little, and I left, gradually, gradually.

To You, my heart and soul I pledged, and vanished from the stage,
I retreated from Your alleyway, gradually, gradually.

Fayḍ Kāshānī, Diwan, G.837: 1-7

Farsi Text

دل از من بردی ای دلبر به فن آهسته آهسته
تهی کردی مرا از خویشتن آهسته آهسته

کشی جان را به نزد خود ز تابی کافکنی در دل
به سان آنکه می‌تابد رسن آهسته آهسته

ترا مقصود آن باشد که قربان رهت گردم
ربایی دل که گیری جان ز من آهسته آهسته

چو عشقت در دلم جا کرد و شهر دل گرفت از من
مرا آزاد کرد از بود من آهسته آهسته

به عشقت دل نهادم زین جهان آسوده گردیدم
گسستم رشته جان را ز تن آهسته آهسته

ز بس بستم خیال تو تو گشتم پای تا سر من
تو آمد خرده خرده رفت من آهسته آهسته

سپردم جان sو دل نزد تو و خود از میان رفتم

کشیدم پای از کوی تو من آهسته آهسته
