The picture above is a poem from khayyam.

🖋️ Literal Meaning:

The secrets eternal neither you know nor I
And answers to riddle neither you know nor I
Behind the veil there is much talk about ys, why
When the veil falls, neither you remain nor I

Edward FitzGerald translated a selection of quatrains (rubāʿiyāt) attributed to Omar Khayyam from persian to English.

There was a Door to witch I found no Key:
There was a Veil past witch I could not see:
Some little Talk awihle of ME and THEE
There seemed--and then no more of THEE and ME
