In this section of Jami's Haft Awrang, the poet narrates the death of Hakim Sanai, who at the moment of passing turns away from speech (سخن). Sanai declares that speech holds no true meaning and meaning finds no adequate speech, having traversed every mode of eloquence (اطوار سخن) only to turn back from them all. In his final whispered couplet he confesses that nothing remains inscribed on his heart, neither excess nor deficiency, except the mark of regret (ندامت), because in this ancient world speech falls short of the sacred. The passage articulates the Sufi conviction that at the threshold of death poetic mastery and verbal artistry lose their worth, and the wise turn instead toward silent contrition and inner reality.
