Rumi	Write for The Iranian Editorial policy

By nightfall, dawn's memory has vanished.
When love's sincere, disgrace's fear is banished.
You cry that you've been burnt by love - don't gripe.
You're not burnt!˜You're not yet even ripe.

#551: From Rumi's Kolliyaat-e Shams-e Tabrizi
Edited by Badiozzaman Forouzanfar (Tehran, Amir Kabir, 1988).
