N. TENIGINA: "Before Having Fulfilled..."

"Before Having Fulfilled..."

(From Omar Khayyam)
Before having fulfilled wise dictates, left to you,
You are craving for soul’s noble qualities, too.
One, who hadn’t sought his ways, will be never directed –
Knock! And doors will be opened your destiny to!


Translated by Yevgeny Bonver, February, 2003
