My cheeks are here - Rumi

I went for a walk
To a rose garden
With my darling.

She caught me casting
A casual glance on flowers,
And suddenly turned to me:

“My cheeks are here,
And you are looking
At the roses there.”

Note: This is my rendering from an English translation.


Original in Persian:

bâ yâr ba-gol-zâr shod-am rah-goZarî
bar gol naZarê fakand-am az bê-khabarî
del-dâr ba-man goft ke sharm-at bâdâ
rokhsâr-é man în-jâ-wo tô dar gol negar-î
