rau be-KHabari guzin agar ba-KHabari
rau be-ḳhabarī guzīñ agar bā-ḳhabarī
tā az kaf-e-mastān-e-azal bāda-ḳhurī
tū be-ḳhabarī be-ḳhabarī kār-e-tu niist
har be-ḳhabarī rā na rasad be-ḳhabarī
If thou art wise go and choose ignorance, so that thou mayest enjoy the wine of joy from the hands of the eternal inebriates, thou art ignorant and ignorance is not thy affair, for one who is ignorant cannot reach ignorance (highest knowledge).
rau be-KHabari guzin agar ba-KHabari
ta az kaf-e-mastan-e-azal baada-KHuri
tu be-KHabari be-KHabari kar-e-tu nist
har be-KHabari ra na rasad be-KHabari
If thou art wise go and choose ignorance, so that thou mayest enjoy the wine of joy from the hands of the eternal inebriates, thou art ignorant and ignorance is not thy affair, for one who is ignorant cannot reach ignorance (highest knowledge).
