In the epilogue (Khatima) of Salaman and Absal (Section 51 of Haft Awrang), Jami presents a dialectical self-reflection on the value of his poetic craft. He begins by urging himself to abandon poetry for the profundity of spiritual silence (khamushi), dismissing poetry as mere 'hair-splitting' (mu-shikafi) and 'weaving of imagination' (she'r-bafi) that yields only the hollow reputation of a weaver. However, he swiftly corrects this dismissal, asserting that while external work (kar) is merely the outer skin (pust), it is animated by the inner marrow of high spiritual aspiration (himmat). By framing poetic creation as a noble labor dignified by learning (farhang) and spiritual resolve, Jami resolves the tension between worldly poetry and mystical silence.
