Quatrain 85 from Rubaiyat of Rumi
Description: English Translation of the Quatrain
O you who have come late to the book,
If the children hasten, do not hasten.
If the people have remained behind and been lost,
This hand of yours is quick, quickly take up the reed flute.

The Pace of Life: The "children" and "people" symbolize those who have already embarked on the spiritual journey or have been lost along the way.
The Call to Action: The "reed flute" symbolizes spiritual music and the call to spiritual awakening.
