O mother! I do not appreciate those persons who shed tears for publicity or demonstration. On the other hand those who constantly remember the Lord, do not weep publicly or complain to others.
تاتوانی پیش کس مکشاں راز،
برکسی ایں درمکن زنہار باز
(Roomi)
As far as possible do not disclose your secret. Never open that sort of door on any person.
این چہ استغناست و ایں چہ نادر حکمتست
کایں ہمہ زخم نھانست و مجال آہ نیست
(Hafiz)
O Allah! what is meant by this indifference and this singular philosophy that inspite of all these hidden injuries there should be no complaint?

Mother, I believe not in their ostentations tears,
Their eyes are filled with tears for public gaze,
Those whose love is true, neither weep not speak of it.

Mother, I cannot trust in those
Whose eyes with tears do over-flow;
Who bring the water to their eyes,
Their sorrow to the world to show;
Who love Beloved, hide their woe,
No tears they show, nor speak about.

Mother, I believe not in their ostentations tears,
Their eyes are filled with tears for public gaze,
Those whose love is true, neither weep not speak of it.

O mother, I don’t trust those, who shed tears,
Their tears are ostentations, they weep to show off,
Those who remember the beloved neither weep nor complain.
