- This Breath is (like the breath) of Jesus (in its effects); it is not (like) any wind and breath that arises from joy or sorrow.
- عیسویست این دم نه هر باد و دمی ** که برآید از فرح یا از غمی
- This Alif-Lám-Mím and Há-Mím, O father, have come from the presence of the Lord of Mankind. 1320
- این الم است و حم ای پدر ** آمدست از حضرت مولی البشر
- What resemblance has any (other) alif-lám to these? Do not regard them with this (external) eye, if you have a (rational) soul.
- هر الف لامی چه می‌ماند بدین ** گر تو جان داری بدین چشمش مبین
- Although they are composed of letters, O sire, and resemble the composition of (words used by) the common folk, (yet they are not the same).
- گر چه ترکیبش حروفست ای همام ** می‌بماند هم به ترکیب عوام
- Mohammed is composed of flesh and skin; (but he is unique) although every body is homogeneous with him in its composition.
- هست ترکیب محمد لحم و پوست ** گرچه در ترکیب هر تن جنس اوست
- It hath flesh, it hath skin and bone; (yet) has this (ordinary) constitution the same (qualities as his)?
- گوشت دارد پوست دارد استخوان ** هیچ این ترکیب را باشد همان
- (No); for in that constitution (of Mohammed) there appeared miracles by which all (other) constitutions were vanquished. 1325
- که اندر آن ترکیب آمد معجزات ** که همه ترکیبها گشتند مات
- Likewise, the composition of the (Letters) Há-Mím in the (Holy) Book is exceedingly lofty, while the others are low (in comparison),
- هم‌چنان ترکیب حم کتاب ** هست بس بالا و دیگرها نشیب
- Because from this composition comes life, like the blast of the trumpet (of Resurrection), (to those) in helplessness.
- زانک زین ترکیب آید زندگی ** هم‌چو نفخ صور در درماندگی
- By the dispensation of God Há-Mím becomes a dragon and cleaves the sea like the rod (of Moses).
- اژدها گردد شکافد بحر را ** چون عصا حم از داد خدا
