Omar Khayyám: Allah, perchance, the secret word might spell; If Allah be, He keeps His secret well; What He hath hidden, who shall hop

Allah, perchance, the secret word might spell; If Allah be, He keeps His secret — Omar Khayyám

Allah, perchance, the secret word might spell; If Allah be, He keeps His secret well; What He hath hidden, who shall hope to find? Shall God His secret to a maggot tell?
