  • این معانی راست از چرخ نهم ** بی‏همه طاق و طرم طاق و طرم‏

  • The pomp and grandeur belonging to (the world of) creation is a borrowed (adventitious) thing; the pomp and grandeur belonging to the (world of) Command is an essential thing.
  • خلق را طاق و طرم عاریت است ** امر را طاق و طرم ماهیت است‏

  • مشرق او نسبت ذرات او ** نه بر آمد نه فرو شد ذات او

  • I who am left behind (surpassed in eminence) by His motes am (nevertheless) in both worlds a sun without shadow.
  • ما که واپس ماند ذرات وی‏ایم ** در دو عالم آفتابی بی‏فی‏ایم‏
