SHAH NEMATOLLAH VALI
هر آینهٔ که در نظر می گذرد تمثال جمال او نظر می نگرد تمثال خیالیست و لیکن ذاتش در آینه تمثال به ما می نگرد
Har āyene-ī ke dar nazar migozarad / Temsāl-e jamāl-e u nazar minegarad / Temsāl-e khiāli-st o likan zātash / Dar āyene-ye temsāl be mā minegarad
Every mirror that passes before the eye reflects the image of His beauty; the image is but a semblance, yet His essence gazes back at us from within that mirrored form.

طاعت ز سر جهل به جز وسوسه نیست عارف نشوی به منطق و هندسه تو
Worship rooted in ignorance is nothing but temptation; you will not become a mystic through logic and geometry.

رند آن باشد که میل هستی نکند وز خویش گذشته خودپرستی نکند
The true free spirit is one who has no desire for selfhood, and having passed beyond himself, worships himself no more.
