Oku› Defter 5› Aşık ile maşuk'un hakikat açısından birliğini açıklama, her ne kadar ihtiyaç, ihtiyaçsızlığın zıttı olduğu gibi zıt olsalar da. Tıpkı aynanın suretsiz, sade olması ve suretsizliğin suretin zıttı olması gibi. Ama aralarında hakikatte öyle bir birlik vardır ki, açıklaması uzundur. Akıllıya işaret yeter.› Beyit 2015

Majnun declares that his physical being, accustomed to suffering, only finds peace through affliction, because he is so deeply enamored with the pain itself that he actively seeks it out.
This couplet is spoken by Majnun, the archetypal lover in Persian literature, during a conversation with a bloodletter (fassaad). The fassaad intends to bleed Majnun to relieve his fever, but Majnun resists, not out of fear of pain, but for a profounder reason. Here, Majnun explains his unique relationship with suffering: he is an 'invalid' (munbal), meaning his body has become so accustomed to wounds and pain that it finds no true rest without them. He doesn't merely tolerate pain; he loves it and actively 'offers himself' to it. This seemingly paradoxical statement sets the stage for his subsequent refusal to be bled, which is not due to cowardice but to his fear of harming Layli, with whom he feels an absolute unity.
- منبلم
- I am an invalid; one whose body is accustomed to wounds or illness.
- ناساید
- does not rest, does not find peace.
- بر میتنم
- I offer myself, I present myself (to them).
