  • سر چه می‌‌پیچی کنی نادیده‌‌ای ** در عدم ز اول نه سرپیچیده‌‌ای‌‌
  • Why do you turn away your head and pretend not to see? Did you not turn away your head at first, (when you were) in non-existence (and disbelieved that you would ever come into existence)?

  • تا کشیدت اندر این انواع حال ** که نبودت در گمان و در خیال‌‌
