For some information about the Iranian Sufi Ahmad Jami, see this post.
As long as one tress-tip
of the hair of your existence
still remains
I fear the Sect
of Self-worship
will survive.
You claim “I broke
the Idol of Illusion —
I’m liberated!”
but I fear
your Manifesto is itself
an idol.
Translation Peter Lamborn Wilson and Nasrollah Pourjavady
