Сармад Шахид
Интересно. Это про одного и того же человека (спасибо a_feigin за наводку)
Цитата первая: SARMAD, MOHAMMED SA'ID Persian poet of Jewish birth; flourished in the first half of the seventeenth century. He was born at Kashan of a rabbinical family, but later embraced Mohammedanism, and went to India as a merchant.In the city of Tatta, Karachi, he became infatuated with'a young Hindu named Abhichand, whom he converted to a mixture of Judaism and Mohammedanism. In 1647 Sarmad was in Haidarabad, not far from Tatta, and there meeting Moshan Fani, the author of the "Dabistan-i Madhahib," or "School of Sects," he gave him the material for a meager chapter on the Jews. According to Moshan Fani, Sarmad held that man's life and death are a day and a night succeeding each other indefinitely at regular intervals of one hundred and twenty years each, and that at death the body passes partly into minerals and partly into vegetables, animals, and the like. This doctrine shows Hindu influence, while his view that allusions to Mohammed exist in the Old Testament bears the impress of Islamitic teaching. During the rule of Shah Jehan, Sarmad was unmolested; but Aurungzebe soon after his accession to the throne in 1658 charged him with heresy and caused him to be put to death.
Sarmad was a poet of considerable ability; and several of his quatrains are still preserved. He is chiefly noteworthy, however, for having edited, together with Moshan Fani, a portion of Abhichand's Persian translation of the Pentateuch. This version, cited in the "Dabistan" as far as Gen. vi. 8, differs materially from the earlier Judæo-Persian translations by Jacob Tawus and others (see Jew. Encyc. iii. 190, vii. 317).
Цитата вторая Another Armenian poet of great merit lived in Delhi in the 17th century. His name is often put near the names of Firdausi, Sayadi, Hafez and Khayam. This poet's grave is near the Jama Masjid in Old Delhi and even today Hindus and Muslims remember him and strew flowers and burn candles and incense at his grave.
This Indo-Armenian poet was known as Sarmad who was also a scholar, mystic and saint.
In the Oriental Biographical Dictionary by Thomas William Beale, revised and enlarged in 1894 by Henry George Keane, it is mentioned, that Sarmad (Arabic word for eternal) was the poetical name of an Armenian merchant who came to India from Persia and started business at Sindh. After some time, under the influence of the Indian philosophy as well as Sufism, he adopted the life of an ascetic and roamed the streets like naked fakir. Sarmad was well versed in Sufism. His elegant quatrains and gazelles in Persian and Arabic won him wide popularity as well as numerous Hindu and Muslim disciples. Among them was Prince Dara Shikoh, the elder brother of Aurangzeb. The disciples of Sarmad did not only regard him as a saint and mystic, they also credited him with miraculous powers.

The universe
is a kaleidoscope:
now hopelessness, now hope
now spring, now fall.
Forget its ups and downs:
do not vex yourself:
The remedy for pain
is the pain.
