Why do my eyes become filled with bloodshot eyes when my heart is stung?
Why do the subtle activities in your heart affect the expression on your face?
When you step into this world of love,
You are no different from me;
We should treat each other sincerely,
But why are they so suspicious of each other?
On the scale of love,
the weights of both parties should be kept balanced;
But why is my side so heavy?
< p>And your side is very light?However, not long ago,
you broke off our friendship with me;
Why don’t you fall in love with me?
Don’t want to be with me? Am I happy and happy?
People are polite to you,
You also give them gentle gifts;
Why are you treating Nezami,
But treating each other coldly is uncharacteristic?
(Translated by Zhang Hui)
Appreciation
"Why" is a lyrical poem that expresses the poet's slight sadness. In the poem, he confides his love. But at the same time, I feel depressed about this kind of love that does not receive the same response from my lover. The poet deeply loves the lyrical protagonist, but at the same time he is worried about the gains and losses of this love. In a touch of sadness, the poet begins to talk and question. In a series of questions, the poet seeks the true meaning and anguish of love.
The poet burst into tears and revealed his infatuation for the heroine. After reading it, one is moved and cannot help but be deeply affected by the poet's melancholy. Nezami is a great narrative poet after Ferdowsi. His Five Books is a monument in Eastern literature and has a wide and far-reaching influence in West Asia and the Middle East. His lyrical poetry was equally well-received and was praised by the court at the time.
At the beginning of the poem, the poet uses two "whys" in succession, showing the contradictions and conflicts hidden in the poet's heart. Facing love, the poet seems at a loss, and the anguish in his heart pours out. : "Why do my eyes become filled with bloodshot eyes when my heart is stung?" The poet implicitly expressed his inner pain. From this poem, we can guess the hurt the poet suffered. The poet's heart has been scarred by love. Then the poet asked: "Why do the subtle activities in your heart/all affect the expression on your face?" In this questioning, we can see the poet's infatuation. Because you care about the other person in your heart, every move of the other person will hold your heart, vividly expressing the mood of a man and a woman in love.
In the second stanza of the poem, the poet is still asking hard questions, and many questions linger in the poet's heart. Love should be equal, but in real life, it is unequal. The poet started thinking about love with various questions. The poet believes that people in love should treat each other sincerely, instead of having all kinds of suspicions and suspicions. In this kind of questioning, he expressed the slight anguish in his heart. At the same time, we can also see the poet's simple view of love and be moved by that sincerity.
In the third stanza of the poem, the poet strengthens the tone of this question and also deeply expresses the doubts and dissatisfaction in his heart. Why in the emotional world, the scale of love is unbalanced. In this weeping lamentation, the poet shows his sincere and passionate heart at that moment: "On the scale of love, / the weights of both parties should be kept balanced; / but why is my side so heavy, / And your side is very light?" This section has become a classic love quote, telling the confusion between lovers, and has been widely recited by later generations. It sincerely expresses the bitterness of love and also conveys the voices of men and women in the world. The emotion of this section is sincere, which makes people moved after reading it, and also moved by the sincerity of the poet.
In the last two stanzas of the poem, the poet continues to convey this confusion of love. The poet continues to ask why the lover does not love each other and why he does not want to be harmonious with him. In this kind of painful questioning and confusion, the bitterness and sorrow lingering in the poet's heart permeate the poems, making people feel regretful and emotional when reading them. In the balance of love, it is never balanced, and those who pay more may not necessarily be rewarded. The poet's efforts did not receive corresponding rewards, but he was treated coldly by his lover. In the last stanza, the poet asks, "Why do you treat Nezami so coldly?" The poem ends abruptly here, leaving people with endless imagination. We still can't give a correct answer about love to this day. In this poem, Nezami repeatedly asks about the true meaning and secret of love, but what is left is only incomprehensible sadness and depression. The reader is left in this faint sadness. But this kind of depression is beautiful. Although it is bitter, it is soaked with the true feelings of the world.
