Pas Az In Zari Makon

Pas Az In Zari Makon — After This Do Not Weep — is addressed by the speaker to their own heart, but the address is final rather than advisory: the speaker is telling the heart that it has done what it did (acquainted them with love) and now must stop. The tone is neither angry nor tender; it is the tone of a reckoning that has been completed.

'At the grave of my breast with your ancient grief / Sleep peacefully — O mad, mad heart' — the breast as a grave is a sustained metaphor: the heart has lived inside the speaker's chest like a tenant in a tomb, carrying ancient (kohan, old, worn) grief. To tell it to sleep peacefully in this grave is to grant it rest after a life of agitation. The 'mad, mad heart' (dile divane divane) is addressed with almost affectionate repetition — the madness is acknowledged without being condemned.

'What shall I tell you, O heart — what things you did to me / You acquainted me with the love of her' — the final reckoning. The heart is responsible for the introduction to this particular love, which has led to the entire catalog of suffering named elsewhere. The heart did what hearts do; the speaker has accepted the consequence. 'After this do not weep' is not a prohibition against emotion but a declaration that the account is settled: weep no more because there is nothing left to weep about that has not already been thoroughly wept.
