Thoughts from Omar Khayyam
TO GOD Religionists do not know Thy mercy as we know it. A stranger cannot know Thee as does a friend. Thou saidst: ‘Sin, and I shall cast thee into Hell!’ Tell that to the person who does not know Thee! I FLEW I was a hawk. I flew from the secret world Desiring to wing at once to heights.

I FLEW I was a hawk. I flew from the secret world Desiring to wing at once to heights. But as I found none worthy of the Secret I went back by the door through which I came.
CLOSED EYES Men’s eyes are closed, like blindfold mill-oxen, Seeking like ants under a reversed cup . . . You have not done what your forebears did – yet you want to be like them. Knock on the Door . . .
MIRROR I am a mirror and, who looks in me – Whatever good or bad he speaks, he speaks of himself.
I AM They say that I am a wine-worshipper – I am They say that I am an adept – I am; Do not look so much at my exterior For in my interior I am, I am.
