by Hafis (c1327 - 1390)
Translation by Apollon Nikolayevich Maykov (1821 - 1897)

Встрепенись, взмахни крылами
Language: Russian (Русский)  after the Persian (Farsi) 
Встрепенись, взмахни крылами,
Торжествуй, о сердце, пой,
Что опутано сетями
Ты у розы огневой,
Что ты в сети к ней попалось,
А не в сети к мудрецам,
Что не им внимать досталось
Дивным песням и слезам;
И хоть слез, с твоей любовью,
Ты моря у ней прольешь
И из ран горячей кровью
Всё по капле изойдешь,
Но зато умрёшь мгновенно
Вместе с песнею своей
В самый пыл — как вдохновенный
Умирает соловей.
