M4:47 — چون بدان آسیب در جست آمدند / پیش پاشان مینهد هر روز بند
M4:47
Kahulugan · به زبانِ تو — Iyong wika · AI
After God grants a seeker an initial taste of spiritual sweetness, He then deliberately introduces hardships and obstacles to test and strengthen their resolve.
This couplet generalizes the experience of the lover in the story. Rumi is moving from the specific narrative to a universal principle of the spiritual path. The preceding line (M4:46) states that God gives every seeker an initial, intoxicating taste of their goal—like a first, accidental glimpse of the Beloved—which is enough to ignite their passion and set them in motion.
This beyt, M4:47, describes the second stage. Once the seeker is committed to the quest (dar just āmadand), God does not make the path easy. On the contrary, He intentionally places a band—a fetter, an obstacle, a trial—in their way every day. This is not a punishment, but a necessary part of the training. The initial grace makes one a lover; the subsequent trials make one a worthy one. These hardships are designed to purify the seeker's intention, deepen their longing, and prove that their desire is not a fleeting whim but a profound commitment.
- آسیب
- Literally 'harm' or 'affliction,' but in this context, it refers to the 'smite' or 'blow' of love's first taste mentioned in the previous line, which wounds the seeker and sets them on their quest.
- در جست آمدن
- An idiom meaning 'to be roused to seek,' 'to be set on the quest,' or 'to be spurred into action.' It implies a shift from passivity to active, earnest searching.
- بند
- Literally 'bond,' 'tie,' or 'fetter.' Here it means an obstacle, a difficulty, or a trial placed in the seeker's path.
