- همچو پرهای عقول انسیان ** که بسی فرق است شان اندر میان
- Hence the associate of every human being in good and evil is that angel who resembles him or her.
- پس قرین هر بشر در نیک و بد ** آن ملک باشد که مانندش بود

- I have a certain darkness in comparison with the (spiritual) suns, (but) I have light for the darknesses of (human) souls.
