Restatements

Those unable to speak their love

are as cold as hammered steel;

Those unable to grieve
are a vacant wind;

Those who are ungrateful

are frightened of themselves;

and those who cannot remember God

have grown older than the hills.

Say the name, O wild rose,

speak the unpronounceable;

Moisten your lips, move your tongue

and praise the indescribable;

Utter the words of every spring

waking the divine;

Open your mouth, O wild rose,

and reveal your hidden gold.

Sanai, ca. 1150AD, tr. Coleman Barks, 1993: 

   Those unable to grieve,

   or to speak of their love,

   or to be grateful, those

   who can't remember God

   as the source of everything,

   might be described as a vacant wind,

   or a cold anvil, or a group

   of frightened old people.

   Say the Name. Moisten your tongue

   with praise, and be the spring ground,

   waking. Let your mouth be given

   its gold-yellow stamen like the wild rose's.

Sanai, ca. 1150 AD, tr. Major J. Stephenson, Hadiqa, 1911:

To call on the name of friends, and the unhappy ones of this world, how thinkest thou of it? It is like calling on old women. Oppression, if He ordain it, is all justice; a life without thought of Him is all wind. He laughs who is brought to tears through Him; but that heart is an anvil that thinks not on Him. Thou art secure when thou pronouncest His name, –thou keepest a firm footing on thy path; make thou thy tongue moist, like earth, with remembrance of Him, that He may fill thy mouth, like the rose, with gold. –
