Rumi quatrain, #1545 Foruzanfar

O the veil of opinion cherished by your eyes,
And the ego’s illusion in the heart’s mad cries!
You are nothing, and such a dullard, that a jewel
Better than you can’t be placed before your eyes!

Note: The egoist values nothing more than self regard.

ای پرده پندار پسندیده تو
وی وهم خودی در دل شوریده تو
هیچی تو وهیچ را چنین چون گوهر
به زین نتوان نشاند در دیده تو
