Ignorant (2/9/2025)

O one who is overcome by his ignorant self

and who doesn’t want to take lessons from others,

all your goodness was limited by leaving a cup next to the fountain.

All you wanted was for the townspeople to drink water

in a toast to your health.

The Rubaiyat of Rumi, The Ergin Translations, Volume 3, rubai 1243, page 168.
