The Sufism of the Rubáiyát

32

Norton F. W. Hazeldine translation

[21]What if the Sun of the Moon should question why? What if the Stars of the World should ask, where did you die, for what, when and why? Friends, deep in the hearts of all a Voice exclaims, cease, why, what, whence, and where, the solution thus, is never found. Dismiss the I, dismiss the you, with you and I dismissed, the universe is thou, in which is found neither what, why, whence, where nor how.
