The world but seems to be
 yet is nothing more
 than a line drawn
 between light and shadow.
 Decipher the message
 of this dream-script
 and learn to distinguish time
 from Eternity.

(Fakhr al-din Ibrahim)

English translation by William Chittick and Peter Lamborn Wilson

I stumbled upon this piece of poetry thanks to a post by Mac¹. One of those poems that can leave you feeling humbled and at the same time lift your spirits. Cannot think of a better poem that you will want to carry with you forever.
