Of my own being or not, I choose to hush

رباعی شمارهٔ 54

Toggle stanza 1
من از بود و نبود خود خموشم
1
من از بود و نبود خود خموشم
اگر گویم که هستم خود پرستم

Of my own being or not, I choose to hush —

For claiming existence might seem self-love's flush.

2
ولیکن این نوای ساده کیست
کسی در سینه می گوید که هستم

But whence comes this soft whisper, faint yet grand? —

Who in my heart declares, "I am," and takes a stand?
