That is, the soul must be purified, so that it may become the mirror of the Divine Refulgence.

Sad spirit, in this lonely place of exile,

Tell me, where is that pomp and splendour now?

Once you were lord of unction, but today

You suffer with the rest of humankind.

That is, the human soul, which is the emanation of the Divine Essence, has become a prisoner of the dark substance of earth.

1 Soltan Valad seems to be the only writer to have referred to this ode. At the same time, there seems to be no reason why he should have attributed it to Khayyam unless it was authentic.

2 Fernand Henry, Les Robaiyat d’Omar Khayyam (Paris, 1903).
