M5:3531 — مصطفی ساکن شدی ز انداختن / باز هجران آوریدی تاختن

This couplet describes the Prophet Muhammad's (Mustafa's) profound distress and longing for divine connection, here personified as 'separation' (هجران). In the story, the Prophet, in an intense state of yearning for Gabriel's presence, repeatedly attempts to throw himself from Mount Hira. Each time, Gabriel appears and stops him, promising great blessings. ★ This beyt captures the cyclical nature of his anguish: he would pause his desperate act of self-abandonment, but the overwhelming pain of separation would immediately return, compelling him to try again. It illustrates the depth of his spiritual yearning and the powerful, almost unbearable, nature of his longing for the divine messenger's presence. Rumi uses this episode to highlight the intensity of the spiritual seeker's journey and the profound emotional states that can accompany the quest for divine union.
