M6:4033 — تشنگیش از نام او ساکن شدی / نام یوسف شربت باطن شدی
M6:4033
의미 · به زبانِ تو — 당신의 언어 · AI
In the context of the devoted lover, merely uttering the name of the Beloved (Joseph, here standing for the ultimate Divine Beloved) was enough to satisfy the deepest spiritual longings, just as a refreshing drink quenches physical thirst.
This couplet continues the extended metaphor of the lover's intense devotion, where the Beloved's name holds transformative power. The preceding couplets describe how every thought, every word, every desire of the lover ultimately points to Joseph (the Beloved). Here, Rumi elevates the 'name' from a mere signifier to a potent substance. Just as hunger is satisfied and intoxication achieved by the Beloved's name (M6:4032), so too is thirst. The 'Name of Joseph' (نام یوسف) is not just a label; it becomes a 'potion for the soul' (شربت باطن), implying a healing, nourishing, and spiritually invigorating draught. This imagery underscores the Sufi concept that dhikr (remembrance, often through repeating divine names) is a powerful means of spiritual sustenance and connection, capable of fulfilling the deepest inner needs without any external physical gratification. The story of Joseph (Yusuf) and Zulaikha is a recurring motif in Persian Sufi poetry, where Joseph's beauty often symbolizes divine beauty, and Zulaikha's intense, consuming love represents the yearning of the soul for God.
- یوسف
- Joseph, the biblical patriarch, revered in Islam as a prophet. In Persian Sufi poetry, his unparalleled beauty often symbolizes divine beauty, and his story (especially in relation to Zulaikha) is an allegory for spiritual love and devotion.
- شربت
- A sweet drink, syrup, or potion; often implies something medicinal or refreshing.
- باطن
- The inner being, the soul, the hidden or esoteric dimension. Contrasts with 'ظاهر' (zahir), the outer or exoteric.
