The Sufism of the Rubáiyát

72

Norton F. W. Hazeldine translation

[33]There is a garden of which the Wise have told, with a river that flows throughout, which when divided has four heads, Oh, Students find this out. There is a "word" the Wise declare though "lost" it's yours to find, that would unite these four again; of this there is no doubt. It is four-fold when opened out and the cross it brings to view; your life's engraved upon its "square" of which no erasion can be made nor "thy mark" carved there be effaced.
