جا پای مسافر کهن

This is a poem or poetic fragment in Persian that offers recommendations for discarding accepted and fixed beliefs and conventions. It speaks in lyrical, metaphorical language of moving beyond light and shadow, standing on dew-laden lips, falling into leaves, and following an ancient traveler. The text evokes drinking magical draughts in the halls of past times, smelling night's song, losing one's face, looking through distant windows, opening doors to danger's caress, and resisting both flight and refuge, neither hastening toward nearby light nor toward distant obscurity. It concludes with quenching thirst at a spring. The work calls for liberation from constrained thinking through poetic imagery of nature, danger, and mystery.
