[Sunlight] Polish your heart for a day or two

~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Stop talking!
What a shame you have no familiarity
with inner silence!
Polish your heart for a day or two:
make that mirror your book of contemplation.

`Âlam khâmushi âyad pish nist
vây ânkeh dar darun anisesh nist
Sayqali kon yek do ruzi sineh-râ
daftar-e khvod sâz ân âyeneh-râ


-- Mathnawi VI: 1286-1287
Version by Camille and Kabir Helminski
