I've told you a hundred times: don't run away just anywhere.
If run you must, then run to me right here.
If ever the fear of the wolf enters into your mind,
Don't run off to the wild, my love, run to your own kind.

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