The tavern haunter wanders lonely in a desert
And sees the whole world as a mirage.

No one has seen its beginning or its end,
And even if you wandered in it a hundred years

Are neither "believers" nor "unbelievers."

They have given up good and evil alike.
Drunk, without lips or mouth, on Truth
They have thrown away all thoughts of name and fame,
All talk of wonders, visions, spiritual states,
Dreams, secret rooms, lights, miracles. — Mahmud Shabistari
