M1:2652 — در وجود تو شوم من منعدم / چون محبم حب یعمی و یصم

此节诗句是故事中阿拉伯人对其妻子的誓言。此前，妻子为了考验他的爱，要求他牺牲自己最心爱的骆驼。阿拉伯人起初犹豫，但最终彻底臣服，宣称自己愿意完全顺从妻子的意愿。

这节诗句是他臣服的顶点。第一行“我将在你的存在中消亡”（در وجود تو شوم من منعدم）直接借用了苏菲派的核心概念“消亡”（فناء / fanāʾ）。这不仅意味着简单的顺从，更是一种存在的融合——将自己的意志、欲望乃至整个“自我”消解在爱人的存在之中。这是一种最极致的奉献。

第二行引用了一段著名的圣训（Hadith）：“爱令人盲，令人聋”（حب یعمی و یصم）。这为他的彻底臣服提供了理由。他解释说，自己之所以能做到这一点，是因为他是一个真正的“爱人”（محب / muḥibb）。爱已经蒙蔽了他对个人得失的计较（如失去骆驼的痛苦），也让他听不见任何源于私心或理智的反对之声。他的世界里只剩下爱人的命令。鲁米借此描绘了爱的绝对力量，它能超越理性、逻辑和个人利益，是通往灵性臣服的途径。

This couplet comes at a pivotal moment in the story of the Arab and his beloved. The Arab, after initially resisting his beloved's request to give away his prized camel, has just declared his surrender. He tells her that he will obey her command, 'whether for good or ill.'

His declaration in this beyt is a profound statement of fana (annihilation of self) in love, a central Sufi concept. He says, 'In your being, I shall become naught' (در وجود تو شوم من منعدم), signifying that his individual existence and will are dissolved into hers. This is not mere obedience but a complete absorption. The second hemistich, 'For a lover, love makes blind and deaf' (چون محبم حب یعمی و یصم), is an Arabic proverb often quoted in Persian, emphasizing the all-consuming nature of true love. It means that a lover is so focused on the beloved that they are oblivious to anything else—advice, warnings, or even their own self-interest. In this context, it explains why he is willing to become naught in her being: his love is so absolute it overrides all other faculties.

However, the woman's immediate response (in the following beyt) shows her skepticism. She asks if he is truly sincere or merely trying to trick her. This highlights a recurring theme in Rumi: the difficulty of discerning true, selfless love from calculated pretense, especially when one's own desires are involved. The Arab's subsequent vehement oath underscores the gravity of his claim of effacement.
