Here, Sunlight offers a selection from the Mathnawi, with a
Persian transliteration, and a link to a multi-media
representation:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The one who regards the foam explains the mystery,
while the one who regards the Sea is bewildered.
The one who regards the foam forms intentions,
while the one who has known the Sea makes her heart one with the Sea.
The one who regards the froth calculates and reckons,
while the one who regards the Sea is without conscious volition.
The one who regards the froth is continually in motion,
while the one who regards the Sea is free of hypocrisy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ânkeh kaf-râ did serr guyân bovad
v-ânkeh Daryâ did u hayrân bovad
Ânkeh kaf-râ did niyat-hâ konad
v-ânkeh Daryâ did del Daryâ konad
Ânkeh kaf-hâ did bâshad dar shomâr
v-ânkeh Daryâ did shod bi ekhtiyâr
Ânkeh u kaf did gerdesh bovad
v-ânkeh Daryâ did u bi gheshsh bovad
-- Mathnawi V: 2908-2911
